    The fan in the bathroom is worn and very loud and also stays on for an hour after light is off that said an easy fix which would make a big difference especially at night

    In general very nice

    It just didn’t make sense how dirty the property was as we saw the cleaners in when people left . We bought some cleaner and clothes and gave the place a good clean when we arrived as we were staying a few days and couldn’t use the kitchen as it was . The duvet on the bed was more like a sheet we were just lucky the weather was warm . For such a good property with a great location things could be so much better . And good luck getting your breakfast.

    Excellent location and great view

    Cleanliness

    Perfect location.. easy access.. room lovely excellent value for money.. great view.. not as clean as I would have expected.. pots all dirty cups plates culture very bad.. nothing to wash up with after out 1 night stay so left pots in sink as think people must just rinse stuff off and cleaners don’t obviously check hence why very dirty .. overall tho I would recommend and definitely stay again probably just take some washing up liquid next time 😊

    It just was not clean in living room. Table and sofa covered in toast crumbs. Crumbs on floor and a dropped sweet. Spilt tea on counter. The living area had clearly not been cleaned. Even stools were not under table. Nocleaning products in the room. Had to go and buy some to wipe counters and cups because I was nervous to use anything in the room or cook. Iwould stay again but I would clean the entire place down at start of stay. There is no excuse for not wiping counters and hoovering when turning rooms around

    Great location. Well thought out. Warm. Comfortable. Great mattress. Slept extremely well

    There were no fridge , coffy makers, toster as was advertised As we'll no dishes or cattery....no toilet paper and staff did not bring it during all stay. Even though it is dog friendly hotel I was contacted in the middle of the day that my dog is barking and I should come back. We left our dog just for 2 hours as we went for lunch. We can't open the window in the room as well.

    Sofa in the apartment wasn’t very comfortable. Also a shame all the seating was arranged facing the back wall and not at the window so you could sit and take in the views out the window. There was no tea towel or washing up liquid available, if this is not to be supplied you need to say so so people know to bring their own. Only two channels on the tv worked!

    Perfect location on the seafront.

    There is no one to greet you at the hotel and no one to ask anything, just an address at which there is no office. The telephone. Everything is done with key codes, which is a bit annoying. Also I wouldn't have liked to sleep in the bed, because it didn't look nice, which is ok since we had a sleeping bag.

    Nice location, good price, decent sized room, and you have everything you could want

    Kitchen could do with some order and reinvestment of cooking equipment and cutlery. A more appealing tea/coffee tray wouldn't go amiss with it being replenished properly too. Uncleaned in places ie glass coffee table, windows.

    Great Location, comfy clean beds., great communication from owners!

    Small double bed, bathroom door didn’t close, had a struggle to open the windows, it was very warm in the room. Lift in the property but out of use permanently.

    Within easy walking distance of the harbour, plenty of parking available, clean.
