My stay at Somerset House was a lovely experience overall. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, and the breakfast is delightful with a great variety. However, the check-in process at an adjacent hotel and the lack of on-site amenities was a bit inconvenient. The location is fantastic as it allows easy access to the beach, but parking could be quite challenging in this residential area.
