pleasant family stay

the junior suite accommodated my family comfortably. there were several convenient amenities nearby including a tesco express , a bakery and a fish and chip shop. i found the free parking at the location very helpful. it was a short drive to the seafront.
the bunk beds had a squeaky sound. i also found the double bed to be very firm, it was difficult to get a good night's rest.

the staff were very cute. i found a tesco express right next door which was very convenient. the room was warm and there was a good tea and coffee selection.
the shower had mold on it. the music from the pub downstairs was quite loud on the weekend. the car park behind the tesco was also used by residents, so it wasn't always suitable (i found this a little inconvenient).

The room included a mini fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee (a very welcomed addition!). the beds were very comfy, and the sofa beds also provided good sleep. the location was also great. It was an easy walk to local shops.

The staff were very attentive and helpful. They looked after my needs with genuine care. The location provided easy access to local amenities. A lovely outdoor space allowed for relaxation after a long day.
The bathroom could benefit from a deeper clean I noticed some dust on the door frame. The toilet roll holders also needed dusting. The mirrors had a few smudges.
