    The toilet was out of order in the en-suite room, I don’t believe it should be advertised as a single en-suite. I personally can be quite an anxious person a I felt on edge. There was moldy gone off milk in the cupboard that was very smelly and dirt in and around the bathroom sink. I felt it to be a little unhygienic that the toilet under the stairs has no sink, hand gel only does so much if people do use it. And when on the toilet there’s no handle to fully shut the door. It locks with a big gap to the hallway. Personally with a bit of TLC, and some improvements the room would be a lovely place to stay.

    I arrived to find no way of getting into the property! Received a message the next day with codes. I was anxiously knocking on the front door for a while as couldn’t get hold of the host. A guest did let me in eventually! The next day, on using the front door key, I couldn’t remove the key from the door in the unlocked position. Fortunately, was able to use the side entrance. The room was disappointing, not anything like the photos. Tight squeeze to get round the end of the bed to a very small en-suite. The toilet still isn’t working (I’ve read previous reviews from a year ago - more disappointing that feedback given before hasn’t been acted upon). There’s still a smell too coming from the en-suite. The toilet in the hallway wasn’t very clean and very small. Needs to finish the decor with some TLC. Dusty in places.

    Quiet even though it’s on the main road. Plenty of parking on the main road too. I was able to arrive between 10pm - 11pm at no extra charge and the single bed (in the downstairs room ) was very comfortable. Nice items of decor.

    Ensuite except toilet was out of order (possibly since August 2023 or earlier accordingto some reviews), had to use toilet across the hall. Ran the hot tap for a while but Luke warm, not hot enough for a shower. Gap between bed and bathroom wall very narrow (12"). Would have been ok if divan bed but the high footboard made it difficult to manoeuvre to get to the tea/coffee making facilities with a big knob digging in your groin. Coffee was stale. Also didn't see until it was too late that you have to order milk in advance. Litter bin had not been emptied, biscuit wrappers and dirty tissues left by previous guest, or the cleaner? There was a suggestion that in some rooms there was no tv reception, only Netflix. Ok if you like Netflix. Bed was ok but squeaky, didn't affect my sleep as I only move when awake.

    Easy parking free on road. Secure so long as other guests conformed. Ground floor room

    I was unhappy to discover that the toilet in the ensuite shower and toilet facilities had a big out of use sign stuck over the seat. I had not been told that I would not be able to use the ensuite toilet before or even on arrival. I had to go in and discover it for myself. I was able to use the toilet across the hallway along with all the others in the house.

    The location was ok as the beachfront was walkable in 37 minutes.

    The room was tiny and the gap between the bed and bathroom is ridiculous to squeeze through. The bed was terrible, it had duvets under the bedsheet because the mattress was in such a poor state.

    The on suite toilet was leaking, so wasn't able to use, but there was a toilet opposite, so not a problem.

    Location was great, and no check in, as keys were in a keysafe, so super quick. also very easy to find, and on the main road so easy to get into the town.

    Only £24 but room needs attention

    Unfortunately the room and particularly the ensuite, really needs a lot of work and attention. The toilet was out of order (a written note taped to the seat advising not to use), the shower cubicle leaks very badly, and the shower tray has previously been damaged and patched up. The cubicle is wedged with a block of wood and holes plugged with tissue paper which doesn't hold back the water meaning the floor and floor mats are wet through. The use of a sperate toilet across the hall was however available. To be honest. With some work carried out, it could be a nice room

    Firstly, it was £24 and therefore, irrespective of the facilities it is difficult to argue with the price. I communicated with the manager prior to arrival and communication was very good. Tea, Coffee and complimentary biscuit.

    The toilet in the room was broken - not a major issue as there was another just across the hall although the door didn't close properly. The shower was usable but the shower tray was broken.

    The room was very clean and well presented, and represented good value for money as a 1 night stopover. Wifi was good and Netflix on the TV was very welcome. Good to see that tea/coffee and milk was provided and the room was comfortable. Lots of safe parking on the road outside the property and the key arrangement was simple and straightforward.

    I would rather pay £5 more and to stay at roadside inn as cleaner (including bedspread and vacuumed carpet) with no outstanding works issues in the bathroom. Is warmer, smells better and the roadside traffic can not be heard throughout the night, even if on motorway, rather than a road also has no security issues on internet, also comes with tv in room and someone on reception.

    That I had a last minute room for the night, and it was reasonable priced....could make a drink.....however

    Very cold overnight. no hot water in the morning was the biggest issue. it needs a deep clean in places, some honesty required to state that it’s a converted garage not an “apartment” - if we’d stayed for more than one night we’d have asked the owners to come and deal with some of the issues.

    location, value for money, quiet.

    It's was too cold 🥶 (obviously I know Oct is cold but 1 little heater that we could work out how to use) due to being to paranoid about breaking anything to be charged, to find when we got there 1 leg on the sofa bed was already broken, the decor round the shower was coming off, camera in on the wall in the hedge makes u feel uncomfortable that your being watched (understand its for security reasons)

    Likes the fact it was away from other rooms especially having a young one

    The double bed was too small, the sofa bed was very small and the leg was broken had to keep it up on aloud of books, and got told they couldn't fix it till Fri so they put the books underneath to keep it up The fridge had mould on the door, the sugar they had in a jar was hard so obviously was old, the tray to the toaster had a load of crumbs and they was hard on the tray so it hadn't been cleaned for a while, they left about a quarter of milk in a 2 pinter and who would want to use a opened bottle of milk (a pint of milk is very cheap to buy) The shower was very small even for myself and I'm only 5ft 2, no cooker

    It was near for us to visit my dad

    Even though the people running the house are welcoming, the property really is in a decadent state. Mouldy air everywhere and facilities not looked after. It is a passable property to stay maybe one night but not at the price I have paid.

    The accommodation is a bit unkempt and needs some TLC- the sofa bed broke when my partner sat down randomly on the second evening (he's 5"10 and not overweight), though the host did offer different ways to fix this immediately.

    The location is good. A 30 minute walk to the beach, parking on the road and pubs close by too. The host was very friendly and happy to help. Perfectly acceptable for what we needed for 2 nights.
