Ideal short stay.
Ideal for a 1 night stay, close to town centre and restaurant’s. A bit dated and I probably wouldn’t do a long stay, but suited our purposes. Would stay again for a night or 2.

Although the property was older, it was clean and the beds were super comfortable. Close to the beachfront and local shops. Rooms had microwave and dishes supplied along with the usual coffee facilities.
Overall, a nice motel with lovely staff.
