Excellent staff. The room could do with updating and the stairs must be taken into account(3 flights). But OK for an overnight stay
Beach view was great. Room was good. Beds comfortable. Water did go cold in the shower after around 5 minutes. Also drained very slowly. Cracks on the walls that could do with being filled with a bit of paint. Otherwise it was great. We would come again despite these issues.
Lovely spot with sea veiw. Room very clean.
Very dated holes in bathroom door covered by a sticker.. frayed carpets
Staff barely spoke.
Stairs need reparing overall in need of TLC.
But beautiful spot overlooking sea..

Cheap and you got what you paid for! Linen was clean, towels were clean, bathroom was clean. Room was in a terrible state of repair, paint peeling from the walls, furniture was worn and shabby, unable to sit on chairs as they were unstable. We were second floor with beautiful sea front views that we struggled to see due to how dirty the windows were (on the inside!)
The room overlooked the bay as described when booking room. The room was clean, but bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable for me. There was a TV but there was no signal to receive any channels.
