lovely decor sea view rock hard difficult parking
The room was spotlessly clean with lovely decor. A BEAUTIFUL sea front view could be seen from our room and everything we wanted to do was in walking distance!!!
The breakfast included hash browns, and those were rock hard. Parking was difficult, and the room was cramped.
