Charming Stay Near the Seafront

free parkingcomfortable bedluxurious linensoft towels
I found the hotel quaint and the location quiet. Free parking was available, very convenient. My room was good, with a comfortable bed and luxurious bed linen. The soft towels added to the experience I was charmed.
The TV was unwatchable in the morning due to continual buffering I noticed this flaw. The welcome tray offered only one pack of two biscuits which seemed a bit meagre.
Service
10/10
The provision of plenty of tea, coffee, and sugar with biscuits was excellent. I appreciated the small bottle of fresh milk in the fridge, a much nicer touch than plastic pots. This thoughtful service enhanced the stay a lot.
Location

The location was quiet with a short walk to the seafront I found this location peaceful. The accessibility to the seafront allowed for long walks I thought this was a great spot. The area was nice.
