Relaxed short stay.
Pros:

Very relaxed & friendly. Warm enough, & ideal location.

Cons:

Little things. Bathroom; cold tap excessive & semi flooded the floor, & whoever placed the bathroom cabinet over the washhand basin, needs a reality check. I would imagine that the easy parking may be different in the busy summer period.

Would not recommend
Pros:

The location

Cons:

We booked and paid for a larger room, but got a tiny room with double bed. When I complained I was told "tough. There is no other room" Get your money back from Booking.com and go book somewhere else" this is at 6pm on a Saturday night.
Food was also horrible. I sent my supper back and was not given the choice of ordering something else so went to bed without super that night.
