The breakfast was excellent. There was plenty to choose from, including fresh fruit, yogurt, and a full English cooked breakfast.
Everything felt a bit dated. The shower head would not stay in position so i had to hold it. The towels were small and stiff..

tender seaside retreat

homely atmosphere friendly staff clean room ideal location
the building offered a homely atmosphere i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the room was standard yet remained impeccably clean and airy a lovely space. the location proved ideal with beaches and a pier nearby. the shopping centre was a walk along the seafront.
i noticed everything felt slightly dated although charming the shower head required holding by hand. the towels were small and stiff this detail did detract a bit.
