Bed state very disappointing upon arrival but overall stay was OK
Pros:

Room was spacious - Good size TV - Comfortable bed - Nice shower that was adequate for our needs - Friendly and polite owners - Reserved car parking space - Main hotel was clean and presentable although the front entrance door looked a little rough.

Cons:

Bed sheets needed changing as there was black hairs in the bed and sheets had a horrible wet stain on them. No wardrobe in the room only a rial that was barely adequate even though it stated there would be both. No anti slip mat for shower, if one was needed you had to go to reception to borrow one. Windows covered in bird muck which you could tell had been there for some time. When we complained about the state of the bed we was told by the owner to complain to Booking.com then he relented and said he would get the bed changed while we were out.

Comfortable
Pros:

Location was good for our needs.
Friendly enough welcome and check out.
Very kindly let us check in early.
Room was big enough and I found the bed comfortable in also had to change my booking date. Although

Cons:

The room we stayed in could do with a lick of paint and bathroom needs attention. If the bathroom was upgraded a bit it would have been perfect.

Cheap, cheerful and an overall pleasant stay.
Pros:

The property is in a perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach and attractions. The area was peaceful and quiet. The landlords/owners so amazing. Were they if you required anything. Very polite, professional and welcoming. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and a generous portion.

Cons:

Paint work needed updating and shower was leaking a bit on the floor but didn’t make us not want to go back :)
