wow what a find!

coffee facilities mini fridge great location
I loved that the room included tea and coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, and a microwave. It really was like home! there was also convenient roadside parking right outside, always a big plus in my book. the location is awesome. I was just a short walk to the beach and five minutes to the town centre.
honestly, the shower took quite some time to get the temperature just right, and the flow was a tad weak.

microwave oven en suite facilities weak flow many stairs
There was a microwave for reheating food and a fridge for keeping drinks cold plus a kettle for making hot beverages. There is a supermarket close by for snacks and drinks. Our room was clean and tidy with en suite facilities so we felt private. We arrived earlier than expected but the host was easy to contact and made arrangements for us to get in.
It was a bit dated and the shower took a long time to get the temperature right. The shower had weak flow. I found too many stairs, so this place isn't appropriate if someone is disabled.

excellent value near the seaside

beach proximity room appliances self catering
i appreciated the proximity to the beach it took only a minute to walk there. our room included a fridge microwave and kettle along with tea coffee and biscuits. the provision of these appliances made self-catering simple.
the shower did require some patience to adjust the temperature i found.
