"Peu mieux faire"

6.0

Proche de la plage. Le dîner était bon et pas cher.

Des travaux sont a prévoir dans la chambre 4. Nous avons passé 3 nuits et avons dû attendre la dernière nuit pour avoir une autre chambre. En effet le bac à douche était bouché. Le chauffage de la salle de bain ne fonctionnait pas. La cabine de douche est en sous pente. Mon mari c’est ouvert le front avec la barre de la porte de douche. Le premier jour pas de pain de mie au petit déjeuner. pas viennoiseries. Personnel désagréable.

"I booked a Greene King expecting a certain standard and unfortunately, this was a mistake"

4.0

breakfast was a fab deal and lovely

The 'economy' room, at £75 per person, was tiny, grimy, the window doesn't shut or lock, the curtains were hanging off the pole, the mattress was lumpy and hard and the whole room is grimy. I asked for my room to not be disturbed by leaving the door hanger on, but a male member of staff was in there when I returned from breakfast and a walk, which made me uncomfortable as a female travelling alone. My suitcase and underwear had been moved where I had left it on the bed, not expecting anyone to be in there.

"Lovely time away close to the beach. Relaxing!"

7.0

The location was the main reason I booked there. The majority of staff were amazing and helpful. Lots of parking available on the road outside. The local people were very friendly. Lovely cooked breakfast every morning. It was a very busy place and the location was spot on so I had a lovely time. Friday evening they had a live band and it was lovely meeting people and the band were really good!

Very busy and the service was slow. There were a few staff that looked quite stressed and forgot to smile. There was one evening on Saturday when the Manager who was in charge was really unfriendly and unhelpful. The room was clean but do not think it was value for money. The shower was quite difficult to work out and only ended up having a very quick wash as not a great experience trying to work out how it worked. Rooms need updating to charge their current prices. Rooms need a small fridge.
