a decent stay overall

comfortable beds clean bedding storage space poor sink

the building has a beautiful original seaside holiday feel to it. the beds were very comfortable. i had tea and coffee making facilities right in the room. the provided bedding was lovely, fresh and clean. an en-suite shower was very convenient.

there was a definite lack of storage space, like shelves. i had to keep my things in my suitcase. the sink bowl unit in the room seemed rather poor.
