Dangerous shower
Well positioned on the beach front, comfortable room with sea view. Only gripe is that the shower door opened inwards and when you close it, it scoops all the water onto the bathroom floor. Is it legal to have a shower door opening inwards??

Good Morning Keith Thank you so much for this valuable feedback. We really appreciate that you took the time to let us know.

Room was good size but was run down and outdated. It also was positioned on what seemed more like an industrial estate and not as described as advertised. Was quite disappointed with it given the price we paid.

The Paxton is a fine hotel with friendly and cooperative staff. BUT, it is in the middle of nowhere, so it isn't possible to take an easy walk to shops, bars, restaurants... It's good if you are with a party or have a car, otherwise it isn't. I checked out after one night and the staff were most helpful in finding me a more suitable alternative.
