A nice couple of nights by the sea.
Pros:

The views from the decking area were great as well as some of the seating inside and the fact that it had a car park. Sunday roast was lovely.

Cons:

Thought it was looking quite tiered, we had a superior double room which was very compact, had to keep moving out of each others way. Thought the photos for the rooms were misleading as they only show you a big bathroom and that is certainly not the case! Had to keep the curtains closed for privacy.

Excellent place to stay for a few days break.
Pros:

We were very lucky to be given the same room we had stayed in 20 years ago. Double aspect windows overlooking the beach and sea. Very comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast was quite disappointing. I appreciate everything may be cooked to order but service was very slow. Ingredients were not of the best quality.

there was a party directly underneath our hotel room that went on until gone midnight. We were not informed that this would be happening and unfortunately we did not get much sleep.

โรงแรม😭😭
Pros:

ชอบแค่ร้านอาหารอร่อยดี

Cons:

เริ่มตั้งแต่เราเช็คอินพนักงานบอกเรายังไม่จ่ายเงินจนเราต้องเอาหลักฐานจากemail ให้ดูถึงยอมให้เราข้าพัก ห้องเล็กมาก มีbox set เกี่ยวกับแปรงสีฟัน พวกของใช้ที่อยู่ในถุงผ้าแต่เป็นset ทีมีการแกะกล่องใช้งานแล้วแต่กลับนำมาวางไว้ให้คนพักคนอื่นต่อน่าเกียจมาก ผ้าห่มเก่ามาก เวลาคนอื่นเดินผ่านห้องได้ยินเสียงเวลาคนเดิน จนต้องตื่นประมาน1.3 น.แล้วออกไปจากที่นี่เพื่อหาที่พักใหม่ เป็นโรงแรมที่แย่ที่สุดตั้งแต่พักมา

Beautiful views and dogs allowed
Pros:

Location was amazing.
Additional accessories were great
View from room was wonderful
Being able to bring out dogs was awesome

Cons:

Lack of personal touch and care from staff, at times this felt clicky.
Whilst eating breakfast an audit was taking place which felt inappropriate timing and didn’t take into account of our space whilst eating our breakfast
