The plumbing for the room above runs through the family room we stayed in and after being woken up by loud drunk guests
Pros:

Location is great, not on the strip but close enough to walk to and close to the train station too,owners were lovely

Cons:

Some of the room needs updating, tv, kettle, lamp didn’t work. A little table would have been so helpful for meal times. Plumbing for room above needs addressing as very loud in the room

Pros:

Very close to the beach, town and attractions.
A 5 minute walk to all of the above.
The hosts were a lovely couple.

Cons:

Sadly, the room was very dirty, I had to clean all surfaces and then drawers and line them with paper towels before I could put our clothes in. The on suite shower room was grubby, leaking taps.
Beds uncomfortable could feel the springs. Miss matched furniture. Kettle unusable I had to buy my own to make hot drinks.
