poor information old mattress
The location was acceptable.
The Pre arrival information was POOR and lacked ANY sense of customer service, honestly. The coffee machine didn't work properly. The bed mattress was old and had failed at the edges so YOU'D roll out of bed in the night.

lovely seaside retreat

clean room daily restock great amenities
my double room was very clean. tea and biscuits were restocked each day. the sheets and towels were changed after two nights. the location was superb with lots of amenities available nearby. i found everything well-kept .
the hotel description stated toiletries were included i did not find any in my room. i had to use my own shampoo for hand washing at the sink and for showering. if toiletries aren't provided it would be better not to mention them.
