Seaside Bliss Stay
tea supply coffee supply molton brown toiletries underfloor heating
My room had a generous supply of tea and coffee. I found a selection of biscuits awaiting me. The bathroom featured Molton Brown toiletries. I also enjoyed underfloor heating in the bathroom. It was a very nice touch.
The pathway to the beach is quite steep. Sturdy shoes are necessary

bacon fat full charge
the staff was friendly, that's for sure.
i was really disappointed with the food. my wife ordered pancakes, specifically requesting no bacon since she's vegetarian. it arrived with bacon! they replaced it, but a piece of bacon fat at the bottom made her sick. also, we had to leave a night early and they still charged us for the full three nights even though they claimed to be fully booked. it's just ridiculous!!!

ancient television poor shower pressure
I expected MORE. Our "king room sea view" was hardly fit for royalty. The television was ancient, and the shower pressure was an absolute JOKE. I also had to ask multiple times for fresh towels. The staff seemed utterly unconcerned with my plight. A supposed 5-star hotel should not have cobwebs dangling from the ceiling. Utterly disappointing!!!
