Good, clean, handy to town centre & beach. Facilities were adequate for our 1 night stay. Only criticism is the pull-out sofa bed, pretty old and some broken springs - not a comfortable sleep for my daughter. Other beds were good. Amazing bathroom ☺️

We have stayed many times and love the position and comfort. Friendly and helpful staff. There was a problem with our door making a strange sound which turned out to be caused by the wind. However the manageress upgraded us to a King Room so it didn't keep us awake! Very much appreciated! Will definitely be back!
