Room 8 had a lovely stay, the room was very nice and clean and a great view of the beach would definitely stay again but I would have liked a lower floor as a lot of stairs to climb ok if you're fit

Im sorry but it was cold at night and the heating was only on for a very short period. My grandson and I were cold throughout the night. Then also trying to get hot water for a wash or a shower was impossible. Im glad we only booked for 2 nights now don't think I could've stayed any longer
