Loved the location, gorgeous view across the road. Beds were lovely and heating was a great advantage, however the towels were very old and thin and we only got two for the four of us.

Very comfortable bed. Quiet area just outside of town at a reasonable rate for the night. Man on the front desk not very welcoming or helpful. Arrived after dusk to find room door and all windows open which didn't help with warming up the room. No sky movies or smart TV.

This was our second stay. The accommodation is conveniently located just North of Thames. It is a short five minute drive into town. The view from the room to the sea is nice. The room is spacious. The balcony/deck - which also connects to the neighbouring rooms with a table and two chairs is nice and spacious, too. We do like the small kitchen to prepare our own breakfast and fridge to store chilled and frozen goods. The staff is friendly and accomodating.
