    Good hotel but overpriced quality / price ratio

    Very overpriced for this apparthotel very old fashioned. The beds was quite small and so old my husband and I kept falling out (and we are not overweight!)

    The location was amazing.

    At first it was a bit confusing about how to find the accommodation. It will be good if it is a sign on the main gate for the travelers. A double bed seems to be a bit small for the holiday accommodation for the couple. (Matters are high quality and comfortable) Need to be mobile to access restaurant's and pub's. Apart from piar (which is close fairly early) not much choice locally. Cab/Uber recommended if don't drive.

    Very quiet location, helpful and very friendly staff. They do make sure your stay is enjoyable. Clean, and fresh. The beach is only 2 minutes away, which is great for a morning walk alongside. Well equipped kitchen, if you need it to use. Local Co-op just 4 min away. The main attraction which is historical docks is only 5 minutes away by car.

    Small bathroom containing the toilet was missing an anti-odour spray/device. Parking at the property costs additional £15 for a day, otherwise, there are strong parking restriction in the neighbourhood.

    A friendly and helpful stuff, cosy room containing everything you could expect based on the description.

    All good, only thing I would change is the 10am checkout time to be a little later.

    Good security. Surprisingly nice communal kitchen, well kitted, clean, spacious. Room is nice, shower works well, there is a hard-watee filter for the entire property so water is nice. A nice touch here and there e.g. wall sockets have USB outlet as well as normal 3pin plug outlets. Overall great, only thing I would change is to make the 10am checkout time a little later, as 10am can be a struggle.

    There was a kitchen one could use, but no plates or cutlery, only more cups & glasses.

    It was room only.

    Kitchen facilities were very good but were unavailable from 11pm until 0930 which made it a pointless facility if you wanted to make breakfast. The radiators seemed to be switched off all the time I was there.

    Property was exceptionally and the manager was very professional

    The only two things negative I would say are the sofa bed was very uncomfortable and would not recommend it to be slept on. I would also have liked to have hand towels as well.

    Very helpful staff. Tea making facilities were good. Quilt lovely and comfortable. Bathroom very clean and fresh. There was also a lovely communal kitchen for guests- although I did not realise this and would have brought something for breakfast.

    Very hard to find. It doesn’t appear to be listed on Google maps and there is another Inn by the sea nearby so the whole thing was very confusing. This place is nothing like a hotel, which I thought I had booked. It’s adequate, nothing more: Only one bedside table lamp, not what you expect for a “de luxe” room. The duvet was far too warm for the season. The shower didn’t drain properly. Very poor noise insulation- we could hear the TV above very well. As for the sea view, if certainly was a bit of a stretch.

    Clean and spacious
