Seaside Bliss Getaway
early check-in heated towel rail lovely staff
The owners allowed early check-in, a welcome start (very thoughtful of them!). I found shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, complemented by a heated towel rail. Breakfast was wonderful. I pre-ordered from the welcome book, and the staff in the breakfast room were lovely each day.
The top floor hallway felt a bit chilly. there was an effective electric wall heater to quickly warm the room.
