charming seaside stay

really good location lovely breakfast complimentary bottle
the location was really good right by the sea i could easily walk to nearby shops and restaurants. breakfast was a lovely experience offering many choices including a delicious cooked breakfast. i especially appreciated the complimentary bottle of brecon carreg water in the room a very nice touch.
i noticed very slight wear on some of the carpets in the communal areas though it didn't detract much from the overall experience.
