a mixed stay, some issues to note

cold roompoor water pressure
the room was cold. the bathroom had freezing temperatures because there wasnt heating. the shower provided very poor water pressure, so it was hard to warm up. only one electric heater existed in the room, and it was not enough.

the location was just great! it was a short distance to south pier and pleasure beach. our room had a mini fridge, so handy. we also had lots of coffee and tea in there, so good to have!
the light in the room did not work and neither did the bathroom light! we raised the concern. we were told there had been a leak in our bedroom. also, the advert says breakfast included! it didn't state continental breakfast though.

Seaside Charm and Cute Hosts

The location near the Pleasure Beach was convenient. The decor had fresh seaside touches that I found appealing. The owners were friendly and helpful. Their warmth really stood out! Breakfast featured pastries, yogurt, cereals, toast, a real coffee machine, and fruit juice.
The bar was closed due to a flood, disappointing.
