we booked an economy quad, didn't know what economy meant. it means a room with 4 mattresses, there's a per person fee for pillow, comforter and towels. there are 3 beds in the immediate room. through another door, at first i thought it was a closet, is another room with the 4th bed. the setup is a little odd, but with ample room to move about. we were lucky in that once we paid for the extra fee, we were given a triple and a double. both rooms had a small table, two chairs, instant coffee and tea, a kettle and cups. the double had a king bed, two night stands, a sectional sofa, and a closet.||the shared bathroom on the first floor is much used, thus supply sometimes run low or out as in the case of paper towel (thankfully not toilet paper!). There are two bathrooms, but one of them was always locked. There are also campers onsite who presumably use these bathrooms. There's a shower room with 5 or 6 stalls. The water pressure was very weak, water was basically just dripping.||the surrounding is stunning. from the hotel, it's a short walk to the golden beach. We went for our walk during high tide. it was mesmerizing watching the waves roll in, with cliffs on both sides in view. we even caught sight of a seal for a brief moment. ||it's a shame the look of the property isn't commensurate with it's surrounding. the hotel shows its age. the restaurant looks to be an addition, and doesn't complement the hotel. there's a row of rooms in a trailer by the side of the hotel. Campers are accommodated in front of the hotel, most of them are out in the open.||breakfast is traditional and satisfying. we thought the food at the restaurant was excellent.||the hotel recommends seeing puffins early morning and after 7pm. since this didn't work for us, we went around 10. we thoroughly enjoyed the puffins. we saw the most puffins along the marked path. we walked past the trail along the cliff. we enjoyed it, but saw fewer puffins.||final comment pertains to tour groups. there was one particular obnoxious German who was always at the top of his voice wherever he might be, including in front of guestrooms before 8am. presumably a room in the trailer is quieter, although wifi might be lacking. it is only available by the bar/lounge, and not 24/7
