This was a fabulous hotel at some point! Sadly it needs a lot investment- however more could be done to show a bit more love. Outside terrace - iron work covered in cobwebs - quite a simple task to brush down. Carpets in public areas needed regular vacuuming.

There are parts of the exterior of the building that need some attention but overall it is a fabulous building standing above sloping gardens. Inside is beautiful. The bar and restaurant have sea views and are warm, cosy and welcoming. The staff were excellent, very attentive and friendly. Our room had a sea view. It was spotless as was the en suite.
