a good stay with fine views

lovely hostbeach viewspacious roomconvenient parking
dean was lovely and offered assistance with our luggage. the north bay beach views were indeed lovely. my room, a king room sea view, was super clean and spacious. i found convenient parking at the front of the hotel (which is a real bonus here).
The heating schedule was a bit odd. It was on briefly in the evening and then again in the morning.

CHARMING stay near the coast

coastal explorationhelpful hostoriginal detailhearty breakfast
The hotel's location proved superb for coastal exploration and sightseeing. the hosts were very helpful and accommodating to all requests. The building features original details, like the fireplace in the dining room. Breakfast included hearty options. IT provided excellent value for money.
The room I stayed in felt quite outdated. The shower pressure was not great! and the bedding felt somewhat old. The bar selection was minimal with only a few items in the fridge.

The hotel's terrace offered AMAZING views. Breakfast included generous portions, moreover the fresh ingredients stood out.
The shower needed a good clean. I noticed some mildew in it. The confirmation message should advise against driving down the dead end. Sat nav led me there directly.
