10/10 Excellent
"The management are wonderful, baking delicious brownies as a welcome gift, and ensuring the room had everything a family needed including a proper sized microwave, a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules, lovely quality towels, and sufficient crockery and glassware, with a little fridge. There is also a wonderful kitchen easily accessible to guests, with more equipment and seating area for preparing a meal and dining if needed. It’s in a great location too, walking distance to the main shops and restaurants and the horse-drawn tram and cockle train. We were very comfortable during our two night stay. Thank you!"
