the location was close to the beach (only minutes away, actually).
The bar food portions were really small for the price. i got a chicken pie. It was soggy with a tiny amount of mash. the room was small, and there wasn't much storage, it would only be suitable for a couple of nights. the bathroom was also tiny.
