Building - Quaint and old full of character. relaxing visit. Would return.
Pros:

Old place but quaint, Great location, with my room I had a view of the ocean and enjoyed ever minute of looking at it. Clean, plenty of space and steps away from the beach. Central to food and shops and the attractions I wanted to visit.
Would stay there again, if I came back for a visit or recommend.

Cons:

Can't say there was anything particular, Traffic, but due to the location of seaside town and one main street, it was, what is was. But not complaining.

Enjoyed two nights in a large comfortable room. Very close to the sea and all the cafes.
Pros:

Very central to the beach and shops. Liked that it was a bit different ie older and had charm.
The room was very large, nice !

Cons:

Tv wouldn’t work and staff unable to attend to fix it. ( got fixed in the morning)
Wasn’t sure what to do in the morning when leaving , with the keys. Not having a reception and someone available was an issue.

Average accommodation, comfortable enough and very clean, just outdated facilities let it down
Pros:

Clean rooms, great location, friendly staff, easy access to room from rear entrance of building, free parking.

Cons:

Shower was hot/cold the whole time, bathroom plumbing turning on and off all night, room was very dated, building was very old and needs to be revamped upstairs, room felt like it was on a 45 degree angle.

Fantastic low key accomodation
Pros:

Great location, always a fantastic place to stay, surprisingly quiet given it is above the pub. Very central.
We stayed in a room with a kitchen which is a bonus for later dinners when the local establishments have all closed for the day.

Cons:

The property is older and aging, very comfortable but a little worn round the edges.
Kitchen supplies could have done with being cleaner.

Sadly disappointing
Pros:

The spa in the room was great, as were the friendly staff. Unfortunately that is where the likes ended

Cons:

The room was VERY dusty. The lamps on the bedside tables looked like they have not been dusted in years. Same for.thw floors under the bed. The room is very dated, and needs a very good deep clean. There were cigarette butts all over the balcony. The footsteps of the people on the next floor were very loud, as was the cleaners in the morning. The room is not a quiet one free from outside noise.
