The location is excellent, staff very friendly. Didn’t use the amenities but walking around everything is awesomely close! Sea room with lovely view, shame some window panels have blown double glazed units, tv signal pixelated, and take your own shampoo and body wash. That said for the money it was fabulous and will definitely stay again! So thank you Kind regards Simon
