The best place I have been to in UK
This is the best place that ever stay not only in England but UK. Clean, qyeut and everything in good condition. Close to coast and 13 min walk or you can catch bus (bus stop 1 min away) to centre. Small fridge was provided which helps if you want to keep some fruits or jogurt. Everything thing worked perfectly. Shower, TV, kettle. Found nice book with all informations that I needed for my stay but also few recommended restaurants and places to see. Highly recommend to stay. Thank you.

Great stay but cold room.
Great location, spotlessly clean. The room was cold and you couldn’t turn the heating up as it was blocked. A long walk to find anywhere to eat. On the plus side, very well organised and very clean. Would I go again? maybe in the summer when it’s warmer and the heating isn’t an issue.

Nice place very clean & convenient for town centre . Large bathroom , only slight criticism was the small shower & the position of the shower holder . The size of the bathroom would have leant itself for a larger shower
