Great value, great staff excellent location, would recommend.
Pros:

1. Perfect location, beach right across the road.
2. Every member of staff we met were friendly & helpfully.
3. Room was clean, bath/ shower good, plenty of hot water.
4. Breakfast.. we paid for breakfasts, which was superb value. A great selection, plus 20%off for staying guests. We paid £13.00 for two small(but plenty!)cooked breakfasts including a hot drink...

5.Small car park at the back... we were lucky enough to get a space.

Cons:

Only a couple of things... the mattress dipped one side so to felt you were going to roll out if bed!.. we had to put towels under the bed to make level..

Athough there was a small wardrobe there was no draw space... the room wasn't huge, but could hv had two bed side cabinets with drawers instead of tables...

We came in boiling hot weather.. there was a fan, but the duvet was 10.5.. so a winter duvet!. We removed&slept under the cover but the room was very cluttered with storing this & as nowhere to put clothes.

However, overall very good value for money, &we had a great break.

A pleasant short break with a quieter night once we changed room.
Pros:

Staff were courteous, friendly and efficient, especially Maddie on the front desk. Room was very clean. Breakfast was good and served until 11am, and the cafe/bar was open all day. Just across the road from the beach.

Cons:

Although the sea view room was great, the traffic outside, whilst not continuous, was noisy throughout the night. We were changed to a rear room for our second night which was much quieter. (The change was made cheerfully and without fuss.)
