This property is old and worn, but clean, functional, and full of character. Carpet was in bad shape underneath the table by the window, but so what? Enjoyed sitting there with a cup of tea, looking out to sea. Bed was very comfortable, plumbing worked, and everything we needed was in walking distance. We enjoyed playing the guitar in the lounge.

Absolutely run down, our door had about a 10cm gap under it, could hear everything from other rooms/landing. Got woke up with loud noises from pipes? Bathroom dirty dead spider on the floor, hairs in the shower, cracks all on the ceiling, carpet all frayed up and wallpaper hanging off parts of wall. Bedding had marks on it too. Hardly slept the whole weekend Tried looking for someone to speak to both Mornings and none about.

Very nice staff and comfortable bed however the carpet was old and worn to the point where there was hoops of carpet big enough to trip me by the bathroom door and sharp pins sticking up from under the window where it should hold down the carpet but there was not much carpet left there .. a few stains on the wall but other than that enjoyed it

Nice views - through dirty, permanently locked windows. No ventilation or ac, no window to open. Free car park means park on the street. Very nartow shower - average person will struggle to get inside. To use the kettle, you need to put it on the floor - cable too short to connect it in position from the photo. Good things: kitchen. Beach at the other side of the road. Lot of dining options
