friendly staffgood foodgreat locationtricky parkingvinegar smellno telephone
the staff were friendly and efficient , which i thought was really lovely. the food was good , though the puddings could have been better. the location is great , because it is just a short walk to the beach.
parking was tricky , because i had to double park and block people in. the room had a horrible vinegar smell , so i had to leave the light and extractor on until i fell asleep. i also noticed there was no telephone in the room.
