Disappointed in poorly ventilated room. Whilst the units were in a quiet garden setting, the unit we stayed in was not good. We had 3 adults sleeping in one room, including a shabby, tiny kitchenette. To watch TV we had to sit on the beds. After sleeping the night the walls, etc were covered in condensation - no fan or heatpump to use. The bathroom had a wetfloor shower which caused the whole room to be drenched in water everywhere. There were no towel rails, no fan or ventilation apart from a tiny window. No shelves or working area. It wasn't nice. Overall we were totally disappointed in our stay. The only plus was it was clean.

This was a good place to stay! Spacious and comfortable. Just getting a bit dated with poor lighting and a lack of power points. Otherwise very good.

Will not return - ever! A poor experience. Good sized unit but with a very small bathroom in need of maintenance and upgrade - shower curtain arrangement. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean but food crumbs on bench and hairs in the hand basin not a good look! Overall very tired!!

Cleanliness & staff service were good, bed was comfortable, shower was great. However, don’t drink the tap water, it’s genuinely foul. Use bottled water instead. Even boiling the water didn’t help.

It was value for money. Nothing special, it almost seemed like going back 20 years in time with the old Feltonmix shower rose with green corrosion lumps, and a shower curtain. Liquid soap for the vanity and the shower. The couch was uncomfortable and looked like it might fall apart. I remember when 30" was a big TV. That was in 1992. Having said that, it was fairly quiet, staff were very friendly and the food in the restaurant was excellent. If you are on a tight budget, this is fair value for money.

Easy to access the beach, which was very pleasant. Checkin was easy, friendly and quick. As was checkout.
