squeaky mattress ageing ensuite

The mattress really let the room down. It was far too squeaky. i tossed and turned all night because of it. i also noticed a persistent dripping sound, seemingly from the toilet.. it was quite distracting. calling the room 'beautiful' felt misleading given the worn furniture and ageing ensuite.

Excellent Seaside Stay

bottled water coffee facilities quiet room good customer service

The room included bottled water in the fridge and tea and coffee making facilities with a kettle. I found the location to be the biggest selling point and the room was quiet. I appreciated the bonus of two packets of biscuits and fresh bottles of water in the fridge. Customer service was very good .

The water leak from the ceiling during rain disrupted my sleep one night.

Parking is available and free if spaces are open with a paying car park across the road. A fridge is also included. It contained chilled bottles of water plus tea, coffee, and biscuits upon arrival.

The hotel is very close to the coastal shore line and town center which makes it easy to walk around. The local railway station is only a ten minute walk providing inexpensive travel to other locations. It is also near a good sunset viewing spot.
