clean room lovely walk quick service noisy unit coffee machine limited breakfast

The room was very clean. The owner recommended a lovely walk for fish and chips. The breakfast had quick service.

THE air con IS a portable unit and is very NOISY. It made sleeping difficult. I did expect a coffee machine in the room and a mini fridge with water , but there was not.

decent stay

easy access convenient location nearby shop key access limited choice single type cheese option high price

the location was excellent. I could walk to the beach very easily. I also appreciated the proximity to many shops and cafes. The provided key allowed ME coming and going as I pleased.

the breakfast was continental. its choice was quite limited, unfortunately. I FOUND only one type of ham and cheese available. I expected MORE options, given the price of the room.
