I think it offers the best view on the south coast and I was able to watch the sunrise from the living room. There is an amazing view of the Cobb. The kitchen is well equipped and perfect for Christmas as we did lots of cooking. Three ovens is a massive bonus when cooking Christmas dinner. The living room is really comfortable with two sofas and more chairs - perfect for playing games and watching tv. The new balcony is a bonus and we were pleased to see that the stairwell had been decorated. I would really recommend a stay here.

We utilised the relatively comfortable lounge area instead but would have been nice to enjoy the sunshine on the balcony. Floors & much of the areas were in need of a good wipe down, coffee/tea stains covered the 2 bedside drawers & floor. WC in main bathroom was filthy, the seat was brown/discoloured & needed a good clean or replacing. We left a day early & relieved to arrive in the clean comfort of our own home. All in all, not as expected & sadly unable to recommend in its current state.
