Nice sea view area, clean and comfortable
Pros:

Nice seaside views, clean and comfortable

Cons:

Think a very small double bed is not suitable for the rooms, need bigger beds and better pillows. Parking needs to be sorted out as doesn’t work.

Pros:

Staff were really helpful and friendly, both at reception and in the breakfast room. The room was comfortable and plenty of room.

Cons:

There was no USB plug in the room which would have been useful. We were given an accessible room (we didn't specify) and the sink was very small and not sure how you got hot water. The hairdryer was like something out of a museum and could do with upgrading.
