I was disappointed in this accomodation. I think the photos are very old and do not give a true idea of the accomodation. It is very dated. The hot water was a problem. Each time I wanted to have a shower, the water did not warm up for at least 5 minutes. I hate wasting water and this really annoyed me. I spoke to reception and she acted like I was stupid not to realise that in hotels this was normal. I will not be returning.

The staff were very accommodating as we asked if it was possible to check in early. The bed and pillow were comfortable. It is just an older building with an outdated bathroom. But suited our needs due to its location for 1 night.

The property provides the basics for your stay. The rooms are dated but everything you need is there. It is a flat 15 minute walk to the beach, and about 25 minute walk to the town centre. Check in and out process easy.
