Excellent Stay, Great Location

The staff was helpful, I liked that. The hotel has off-street parking , made arrival easy. A great pub called 'Goat and Tricycle' is located just around the corner, I found it convenient. The accommodation was attractive and comfortable.
I noticed a very slight smell as I went up the stairs, though it wasn't too bad.

Excellent Stay near the Town Center

The staff was friendly making me feel very welcome! The location proved ideal. It was a short walk to both the beach and the town centre. My room was very clean, furnished well, and included a mini fridge. Leaving my car pre and post check-in was allowed which I appreciated.
The room was ok though a little worn. The bed looked great online but was not as great in person.
