This property is in a handy location, close to the beach, across the road from takeaways and just up the road from Bayfair. The room was clean and tidy and staff were welcoming. The shower was a bit sensitive to adjust manually, but even without adjustment, water temperature fluctuated quite a bit. Overall a lovely stay, quiet and peaceful at night, enjoyed it.
