A perfect place to feel at home on the other side of the world - Kate and AJ's hospitality is tiptop
Pros:

Really cosy and comfortable room and the house keeping was top notch. The location is great for access to everything you could need, and having access to the gym round the corner was great.

Cons:

The bathroom was a little small, however it was still a good size in relation to the room.

This was a nice change from the standard chain hotels, run by people who really care about service.
Pros:

The guest lounge is a great area to work in. Our room was spotlessly clean, and the owners and staff are extremely helpful. A short walk from restaurants, bars and other attractions.

Great stay, would recommend
Pros:

Warm welcome from AJ, showed us our room. Nice big size, comfy bed. Cupboard with safe. Tea, coffee facilities. Little mini bar fridge. In the corridor there was a water cooler.
Great shower. The only tiny issue was that there was only one hook for a towel and no towel rail. Another hook would have been perfect. Liked the complimentary body wash, shampoo etc, smelt lovely.
Laundry facilities were available. There was a guest lounge also to use. Car parking a very short distance away.
Loved the position of the hotel, easy to walk to bars and restaurants. Also close to cycle hire, called cycle inn. Great for going along the sea front.
Meet other staff during our stay, all very nice.
All in all we had a great stay.

Cons:

Just the hook issue in the bathroom.
