Satisfactory Stay

good room sizehot waterdog friendlylimited parkingfew parking spacesuncaring staff
The room size was good. The shower had hot water. Heating in the room worked well. The accommodation was dog friendly, it was also good value for money. It was only a few minutes from the beach.
The hotel advertised available parking though I struggled to find a space. I drove around for quite a while to find somewhere to park. There were very few spaces. Staff did not seem to care.
