It would have been better if the bed was more comfortable, it would have been more comfortable on the floor. The shower was so tiny.

Nicely appointed studio room with all you could need (mini fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee/tea making facilities and supplies). Surprisingly quiet for a big hotel and a peak season stay. Only thing is the lack of proper black out curtains. Only blinds, which were insufficient to keep light out. So if you're a light sleeper and sensitive to this, a eye mask is essential. Handy parking directly behind the apartments. Be aware there are stairs and no lift to upper levels if you have mobility concerns.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at the property, even though there were quite a number of stairs (interesting given my recent hip replacement but I managed). Apartment was fairly clean and very comfortable. There was no view from our room but that didn’t matter to us. There was no milk in the fridge (to accompany the complimentary tea/coffee) but a quick trip to reception fixed that. The pool was nice (not very deep) but could do with more shade options. Pool towels were readily available and a used towel tub was next to the tables, which was nice. Staff at reception were friendly and very accommodating. Parking was easy and access to the property was simple. The nearby Whalers Inn restaurant also had wonderful staff and lots of dining options. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will definitely come again. Location is beautiful and nice to be a bit away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas.
