William

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We found the property comfortable and felt well looked after. The room was fairly small and a little tired in places, but was good value for money and convenient for sea front, shops, trains and buses. The weather was hot and we needed windows open, and the layout of the premises was such that windows of adjacent rooms were very close to ours - the residents of one room near ours seemed to think it OK to watch TV very late at night. A bit annoying but liveable with. The marmalade was very good, and we bought some to take home.
