a solo traveller's perfect stay

perfect positioncomfy bedeasy contactopen window
The location is perfect for exploring. I walked everywhere. the number 7 bus from the train station is easy to use if you prefer. i found so many places to eat, including amazing english pubs and coffee shops. the room had everything i needed. It was super clean and tidy with a very comfy bed, it felt safe.
I had some trouble with the window. A giant seagull paid me a visit. haha. I found that i couldn't fully open it, a bit of a shame.

It is close to the sea front. A short walk takes you there. the hotel is also not far from the town centre, though the parking was expensive! the area felt quiet and peaceful.

Adequate Location, Notable Issues

convenient locationsmall showerinsufficient water pressure
The location was conveniently situated close to the sea.
The shower was quite small. The water pressure in the toilet was insufficient. The toilet often remained dirty after flushing. These issues detracted from the overall experience.

a decent stay near the sea

excellent communicationseaside locationbottled watersmall roomthin wallthin curtain
the location was a highlight, as it was literally a stone's throw from the sea. communications were excellent with the owner after a minor key issue. a complimentary supply of bottled water added a nice touch.
my room felt quite small, made moving around a bit challenging (it was a logistical issue). the walls seemed thin, i heard some noise late at night. the curtains did little to block the early morning sunlight.
