Don't change a thing - it was great!
Pros:

The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. I arrived a week early by mistake, but it was not a problem and a nice room was found for me. The room was immaculately clean with a big window that opened. It was cool and fresh. I was very hungry in the morning as I didn't eat the night before, so I was given a Weetabix pre-breakfast. The location is perfect between the town and the cliff walk. I would definitely go back.

We had a lovely stay and the hotel wasn't very far from the beach which was nice.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and tidy.

Cons:

The room was basic and very hot as there was only one small window in my room but the other rooms my family used had 2 windows so were cooler

Ottima posizione, ma da migliorare
Pros:

La posizione è ottima e anche l'accoglienza dello staff. La camera aveva le giuste misure e la struttura è comoda a tutto.

Cons:

La mia camera aveva un brutto odore di umidità e muffa. È stato difficile dormire bene. Essendo in un seminterrato non ho potuto dormire con le finestre un pò aperte per far circolare l'aria.

Pros:

I loved it here, I spent one night, but I will definitely be back. Perfect location for shops, old town, high street and bus station all with in 5 minutes walk or less. Also a 2 minute walk to the beach. Loved it. Thank you for having me.

Cons:

There veggie sausage needs to change to vegan ones as I had 2 of there's and they are mash potato with carrots and peas in side. Vegan ones are cheap now adays and much better then having these ones.
