A lovely hotel, that was well-appointed with spacious rooms, and well served by very friendly staff. Really enjoyed the pool as well, and thought that the breakfasts/ teas/ lunch were delicious. The location was ideal as well, being very close to the coastal path, the museums and numerous restaurants.
