“The genuine warmth emanating from the staff, who consistently went out of their way to accommodate needs, certainly made an impression, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt quite personal. It's clear a good deal of effort is being put into the renovations, and for the price point, the accommodation delivers a cheerful and functional base close to the seafront.”
