Was tempted to go 5*, but just a tiny bit of modernization could be done with, like a bit of paint on the room, however the guys downstairs were great, amazing view (room 6 i stayed with daughter), if had the option I'd go maybe 4.7/5, so much going for the place, just a few minor touches could make it from great to brilliant I guess.

The cost was very reasonable. I’m hoping my feedback will be received in the good spirit it comes from. Location was fantastic with sea views. Staff friendly and welcoming. The interior was tired. The bed bases were frayed and carpets coming away from the grippers. The bathroom was clean. The bedding was clean but the bed was leaning downhill. The bedside lampshade was stained. This accommodation was very reasonably priced but I would have been disappointed had I paid more money.
