Was disappointed
Cons:

The room smelled of paint, problem with hot water, building/renovating other rooms next door. Contractors didn’t clean up their mess and was left in the corridor next door to the room. The mattress needs replacement. Rodents were running around in the ceiling at night. Overall had a terrible stay and woke up tired and with aches and pains.

Slitet strandhotel som behöver fräschas upp.
Pros:

Personalen är trevlig i restaurangen. De hade alltid ett leende även ifall det var varmt i solen. All personal bar svarta kläder så extra guldstjärna att de klarade av värmen med dessa varma arbetskläder.

Cons:

Vi bokade detta Guest House eftersom det var nära stranden och såg så trevligt ut på bilderna. Tyvärr tillhör ”The Cottage Pie” ett annat hotel så rummen ligger bakom det andra hotellet och dess byggnader. Detta framgår ej när man bokar utan först när man försöker hitta hotellet och det står ett annat namn på skyltarna i receptionen. Vi fick hjälp att hitta för annars hade vi aldrig hittat. Bilderna är förskönade och rummen är slitna i verkligheten. Vårt rum luktade stark målarfärg och ibland urin från avloppet.
Det fanns även en liten pool som tillhörde ”The Cottage Pie” men hotellet lät alla gäster inkl barn bada i den poolen så det var även stimmigt på dagarna. Det är även alldeles för dyrt och fyra stjärnor stämmer ej. Detta är mer ett slitet 3 stjärns hotell. Tyvärr är detta inte ett hotell som jag rekommenderar och kommer ej boka igen.
