"Our garden room was very basic but bathroom looked recently redone and very clean. Not a luxury accommodation but it was clean, right on the beach, the pub food was very good. My only complaint was lack of overhead lighting in the room. We knew it would be a no frills room but it was better than we had anticipated based on other reviews I had read. It was clean, staff was helpful and it served our purpose."
