Travelled with partner

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The ‘shed’ we stayed in was modern and felt warm / homely
The self-serve booking in worked well.
A short drive away from Barry Island beach.
Quiet / peaceful.
Altogether a good stay, but more could have been made of why the accommodation were ‘sheds’, ie around being an old dock / railway line.
…. Would have been good if the sheds were painted to resemble that they were old train carts and that would add lots more character to the place.
The not so good ….
Bedside light bulbs are way too bright
Gate locked too early (probably by another guest) …. Not good if you nip to your car to get something and haven’t got your phone / the gate code with you at the time.
Kettle descaling – there were bit floating in the water it was that bad.
Parking space = extra! = distorts the advertised / true nightly stay rate.
Shower was way too small.
Wash basin – impractical, to shallow, on top of the toilet = could not stand close enough to it
Iplayer Netflix etc log-in’s needed to use the TV, no ‘normal# basic TV package like Virgin Media / Sky.
The inside doormat was way too large, had to step on to it when passing the bathroom when going between the lounge and the bedroom.
Lack of shelf space in the lounge / kitchen area.
