"Good value for money"

It was well priced and in a good location and had parking. The lady running the place was lovely and helpful

The room we had was underneath at the back. It was a bit dark and gloomy. The room was a bit musty and smelt a bit mouldy. I'm sure the other rooms are a lot lighter and nicer.

Very friendly welcoming staff. Nice big spacious room with separate bedroom and bathroom. Parking directly outside of the room. Private outside seating area. Location was fine with just a short walk to the seafront with bars and restaurants not much further.

Can't think of anything.
