Will not stay here again.
Pros:

The beach

Cons:

Barren room with very thin walls. I could hear the person upstairs snoring. Not even a towel hook in the bathroom to hang one's face or bath towel. Other than the location, there is nothing that goes for it. Did not leave a safe impression, either on entry.

Pros:

We had a room with a view of the North Sea and loved watching the mad Saturday morning cold swim dippers, plus the gathering of the fun runners. Communal kitchen was well equipped and we had a fridge in our room. Plus there were 2 chairs for us to sit in to look at the view.

Cons:

It was a bit chilly ( I know it's winter ) but the radiators weren't properly hot. All the rooms only have showers.
