Really good experience, some noise

helpful staff clean room many options excellent food

Lee was very helpful, that was great. Check in went straightforward and our room was clean and tidy. Breakfast had many options. I tried traditional full english. Food at evening was also excellent. I had no problems with car parking space. It was a big bonus.

Live music created excessive noise one night. The soundproofing needs improvement for external music sources. I did find this disturbance quite disappointing because it impacted my sleep.

rainfall shower wide windows bay view ill-fitted curtains unsecured toilet seat unwelcoming host

The staff helped me find parking. It cost £5. the room was modern. it had a rainfall shower, which i liked. the bed allowed me to have one of the nicest sleeps i've had in a while. the view of the bay is excellent. the windows open wide and let in the sounds of waves.

The check-in host wasn't very cute. the curtains were ill-fitted and hung off the track. the toilet seat wasn't secured. It was wobbly. there weren't enough hooks in the bathroom for hanging anything.
