1 Bed Room Flat Close to seafront
Self-catering flat with a kitchen and crib
About this hotel
This one-bedroom flat swaps a standard hotel room for a genuine self-catering setup: a full kitchen with an oven, stove and microwave, a washer for a longer stay's laundry, and a crib for travelling with a baby. Heating and an ironing board round out the practical extras, and cable TV covers evenings in after a full day on the beach. For a family staying a week or more, cooking even a few meals rather than eating out every night can make a real difference to the overall budget, and having laundry on site means packing lighter for a longer trip. It suits a family who prioritises space and self-sufficiency over hotel-style service and an on-site restaurant.

Our take
This suits a family staying longer than a couple of nights who wants to cook some meals and do laundry rather than manage a hotel routine throughout. It will not suit anyone who wants daily housekeeping or an on-site restaurant — this is a self-catering flat, not a serviced hotel. For a longer family stay near the seafront, it is a practical, budget-friendly choice.
- ✓Book this option specifically for stays of a week or longer, where the kitchen and washer pay off most.
- ✓Bring or buy basic groceries on arrival, since the flat is self-catering rather than serviced.
- ✓Use the crib if travelling with a baby, rather than packing a travel cot separately.

Why guests love itBooking a flat rather than a hotel room made a real difference over a longer stay, mostly because we could cook a few dinners ourselves rather than eating out every night with two kids. The crib meant we did not need to bring our own travel cot, and having a washer on site let us pack lighter than we normally would for a week away. It is self-catering rather than serviced, so do not expect daily housekeeping, but for the space and practicality, it worked well for us.
