great location friendly staff faulty shower scarce toilet paper
the location was great, so close to the beach yet perched up on the cliffside, it made my heart flutter. staff were super lovely and friendly, always ready with a warm smile, a real comfort it were.
The shower weren't working properly in my room, it didn't meet the standards i'd hoped for, a bit of a letdown. toilet paper was scarce. One roll for three guests, a small thing yet it bothered me some.

Fantastic Experience!
awesome location polite staff
The location was awesome, and I secured a sea-facing room. The English breakfast is AMAZING!!! The manager is helpful and kind. Staff are very polite and cleanliness happens daily.
The shower and bath was hand held only with terrible water pressure. I had a dribble of water, so showering was hard. The heating did not seem to work, and some nights were chilly.
