Very good

Lovely clean hotel,we stayed in family room,could smell the freshness off the bedding..bed was so comfy..car park behind hotel.would definately stay again.close to town.friendly staff
Really lovely and clean room with free water, coffee and biscuits.
The bathroom had shower gel and shampoo for us to use.
Really lovely location and quick and easy entry and check out.
Would definitely stay again.
-Presentable property
-comfortable bed
-spacious
-good shower
-tons of towels provided
-easy quick access to the beach and nearby restaurants.
- tv had netflix
- towel heater in bathroom
-easy check in
-ample storage space
-good kettle
A few niggles:
-i think the listing could be improved to include valuable info such as - parking is on street and not always guaranteed plus the tv has netflix (had i known this i wouldnt have bought my laptop along with me)
-there arent any hooks anywhere - not much of an issue in the bedroom as you can hang in the cupboards, but necessary in the bathroom. We had towel rail full of beachwear so you need somewhere to hang your towel and a change of clothes when in the shower.
-green lights (i assume for health and safety reasons) might be good to have this pictured so people who require black out to sleep can bring an eye mask
-sofa bed very uncomfortable - when i lay on there (i am an average sized adult) the springs were digging into my back, luckily for us, only my 3 year old slept there so he was unaffected.
-although toiletries are pictured, shower gel not provided
- tea and coffee facilities: biscuits were stale and unedible and spoons needed a good clean
-it wouldve been useful to provide an additional cotton sheet for each bed - duvet is comfortable but borderline too hot in the summer months
On the whole a very positive experience, however there are a few pointers for improvement.
Thanks
The property was very easy to find and parking wasn't a problem as there is free street parking or a car park behind the property at a reasonable price. Our room was very clean and tidy with good facilities. Didn't meet our host but was always available via phone if needed and got in touch to ask if we needed anything such as extra towels etc. Easy access to the beach and shops.

No staff, no option for breakfast, but a nice comfortable room.
Older property than we expected. The front entry needed a good sweep. Trash out front greeted us and set a poor tone. Bit of paint and things could look better. Our room door was damaged and below acceptable.
The building and room itself was lovely and clean however the area was very noisy. People were screaming and shouting in rhe street until 2.30am on a sunday night monday morning! Think it was coming from the hotel opposite who had some dodgy characters outside when we got back to the room!
it was easy to find. nice , clean hotel. lovely location not to far to the pubs shops. would definitely stay here again . only thing i would book on the ground floor as its to many stairs for me abd my sister .
When I arrived at the property I was unable to get in as there was a didgital lock on the door and I was not given the code also I was not provided with the room number. Also, the Contact Telephone number on my Confirmation document was not in service and apparently not the phone number of the manmagement. Had to go through a time taking and convoluted process to gain access. Not pleased.
I was impressed how slick the check in process was despite having no staff on site. I submitted a question about an issue with check in and got a response and resolution within 10 mins. Nice room, clean, well equipped. The only downfall was creaky floorboards so take ear plugs.

Generally it was fine, but a few small niggles. On arrival we (myself and my wife) found only one towel, a bath towel. I contacted management who responded quite quickly and delivered more towels.
The list of amenities included 'free bottled water' (there wasn't any) and 'Netflix available' (it isn't, unless you sign in with your own account)
Apart from those issues it was OK. Just a bit surprised that there is actually no one there apart from guests, no reception or staff in the building. More like an Airbnb or hostel than a hotel really.
