Proper friendly hotel

Booked as it was cheap for an advanced booking, thought would be an OK place to sleep. Room a bit worn sort of rustic but great bed, nice bathroom working AC and fan lovely little pool Best of all a proper pub, good food and the staff really make it. Pub closes at 10pm so not that noisy given its main road location. Garage car parking included

Convenient to tram and beach. Rooms are close to the pub. We did not mind the associated noise, but it might be a factor for some people. We would stay there again.
