Friendly staff, clean room, nice breakfast option for a reasonable price. Walking distance from the places we wanted to go. The shower lacked pressure but not sure if they have the power to fix that! The furnishings are worn but everything was clean and that's all I care about

Breakfast was good, check in and out easy, room was fine, maybe a little tired. Could do with more sockets or USB ports.
Lifts not really adequate, one was out of action and they are very small, max 2 adults.
The room was spotless and spacious great view the staff were friendly everything was great apart from no heating in the room especially the last few days when it was raining and windy
