pleasant family stay

convenient amenities helpful parking comfortable suite
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.
