Mooie kamer maar nog werk aan de service
Pros:

Inrichting

Cons:

De stopcontacten werkten niet. Geen tv dus en ook geen gsm’s opladen. Gemeld bij personeel maar daar bleef het bij. Geen ontbijt en ook geen personeel bij het verlaten van het hotel.

Satisfied with Everything.
Pros:

I Liked the Friendly People that arrived from San Francisco 49 ers who Actually bought Leeds United Football Club and they Played Music with the Locals Midweek which was a Bonus, I got up to Sing the Wild Rover with another man in the Crowd out in the Beer Garden. They had a Big Tent erected as well overlooking nice Sea View.

Cons:

Everything was fine, I Can't Fault anything.

Gute Lage, das wars aber leider auch schon
Pros:

Das Essen unten im Pub. Ausserdem auch die Lage direkt am Meer.

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit ließ sehr zu wünschen übrig. Der Teppichboden war so schmutzig dass man nicht barfuß laufen konnte. Überall Staub, Haarbüschel in der Dusche und dreckige Handtücher

Disappointed with the beach beside the bar
Pros:

The bar accommodation newly done and fantastic . The food in the bar was lovely I had scampi it was top class!
The staff were fantastic too !!

Cons:

The beach beside the bar looked appealing in the pictures , our primary reason for booking .
I wish I had known that I wouldn’t swim there !! The water quality shocking and the sand was black sludge I had difficulty in washing it off after .
So disappointed as it was too late to travel to surrounding beaches when I realised how bad it was .

Brief
Pros:

Location was great, but no breakfast on site. Staff were very friendly and polite

Cons:

Our initial room had not been made ready and was still messy from the previous occupant. The rooms were above a bar, with a band one night and karaoke om another. The mattress on the bed needed turning as it felt as if my head was below my waist and I was going to roll out of bed. The room needed better ventilation as it felt very stuffy and the window only opened a limited distance. The pillows were flat and need renewing. We had to travel 3+ miles down the road for breakfast. Could have done with hooks in the bathroom for clothes and near the door for coats etc
