Great location
Pros:

Location was great and good parking. Room was nice, shower excellent.

Cons:

Room was quite hot and had to shut the window due to noise from seagulls early morning.
Extra charge for parking which wasn’t clear on this app.

Nice place, good value for the price, decent breakfast.
Pros:

Clean and convenient.

Cons:

The washer/dryer combination in Studio 1 was not working properly. We believe the drain may have been plugged but regardless it literally put a damper on our plans as we had to contend with wet laundry that simply would not dry.

Overpriced Kennel!
Pros:

Location, very clean. Bed very comfortably.

Cons:

Room was extremely small offering no storage space. Bathroom very small no space to put anything. Car park is chargeable at £10 a day plus made up of thick gravel stones which means the back bedrooms hear every movement. Maybe ok for an overnight stay but we’d booked and paid for four nights. Tried to upgrade but not possible so we checked out following day. Would not recommend.

Hotel top, aber frühstücken lieber anderswo
Pros:

Die Hotellage, die Zimmer, der kostenpflichtige aber tolle Parkplatz - alles super.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war leider (vor allem zum Preis von 15 Pfund pro Person) eine Frechheit. Es gab sehr wenig Auswahl, und davon auch noch wenig. (Im Topf mit den Tomaten, war eine Tomate. Es war ein Spiegelei da, eine Handvoll Rührei, etc. Hätten wir beide das gleiche gewollt, hätten wir schon ein Problem gehabt.)
