Enjoyed large clean room with sea view, restaurant and bar plus free parking. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Hotel in quiet location close to sea front. Probably needs upgrade shower to get consistant water tempreture. Would stay again.

OK hotel, the maintenance of the room was poor

Pros: Close to beach, good walks, near the town.
Cons: Maintaining the hotel rooms properly
Location: Fairly reasonable
Ok hotel, the maintenance of the room was very poor, and much needed repair, water leaking from all taps, a waste. Cold windows.
