Disliked: Amenities
The area around the hotel was good, but there was giant dog blocking the entrance with it’s owner while we were going to our room and the kids were petrified. Staff didn’t refill the shower kits for the second day. No hair dryer available. We loved the area and the view was very nice from the window.

Not good. 1. The room is not clean. I saw women’s hair somewhere. In the bed 2. Why can’t change some new bedding ? Is not expensive. The bedsheets are pilling. Not comfortable. 3. Some odour in the room. Not fresh. 4. One panel of the curtain is broken, and I was woken up by the sunlight at 6 a.m.

Lovely family run B&B

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station
