comfortable stay, great location

prime location clean room on-site parking

the location was excellent, near the high street and about a 10-minute walk to the sea. the room was kept clean and i found it comfortable. on-site parking was available, really useful in this area.

i was charged for a late checkout i was not told about initially. i refused to pay it, and the owner kept the key deposit money and the change she owed me. i will raise a complaint about this

small bathroom disruptive noise

the room was clean. the location was acceptable being near shops. and transport links.

I found the room smaller than expected. the bathroom felt cramped with limited space to move. the noise from other guests and street traffic was quite disruptive at night. I did not sleep well.
