Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This was an interesting experience. Very much DIY, once you had been met and shown your room you were on your own, did not see any staff again. Breakfast was set out, help yourselves, if its not visible its in the fridge, cereal, toast, juice, yoghurt. The plumbing in our room left a lot to be desired, very noisy pump for water and loo. On the plus side, very central, easy walk to the harbour area. Necessary ingredients to make sandwiches for the day, cake and fruit available.
