"The room was lovely and well equipped. Not having a lift made it hard because I have a knee injury climbing the stairs was a challenge but lucky on the first floor not higher up. On the first night the neighbours were noisy so disturbed our sleep. There wasnโ€™t enough car spaces on site so had to park in the street. There was some yellow marks in the spa bath wasnโ€™t sure if a rust mark or something not nice. There was two holes in the wall which was a shame as these minor things spoiled what was a lovely room. They location was great by town and the beachfront. We did like our stay and maybe consider staying there again."
