convenient location lovely hosts squeaky floorboards flashing alarm basic accommodation
The location proved quite convenient. It was easy to reach from the train station. The room offered everything needed after coastal walks. The hosts kept the premises clean.
The floorboards in the room above creaked loudly. This made it hard to fall asleep (it was very distracting). The smoke alarm flashed green every 15 seconds. I found it difficult to ignore. The experience was not ideal because of this.

The breakfast was acceptable and kept me going until lunchtime.
I experienced an unfriendly reception. There was no welcome at all. Generally, I did not feel welcome. The owner seemed to rate himself with a top score upon arrival.
