It was very good
Pros:

We stayed for 3 nights in a double room with the en-suite and it was a lovely experience. The owners are so lovely and helped us with any issues we may have had. We felt safe when staying in the hotel and also was very comfortable. The room was stocked with extra toilet rolls etc daily and was very clean. Will definitely be staying here again!

Cons:

We liked everything

Pros:

Really good location as needed to be close to central pier.
Was a quiet hotel what was needed for the night.
Gave me daugher some sweets in the room what was a lovey touch.
Was able to check in early.
Was told in the morning I had an ungraded what was lovely as was just me and my daugher.

Cons:

When I went to place my close away on under the bedside table, it was really dusty. There was a hair in bed. The window was dirty on the inside. Hair near the tiles near the sink.
