The property is ideally situated close to the sea and is well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Rooms were a good size with lovely views across the bay. Staff very helpful at all times. Stairs leading up to the rooms were a little difficult if you had mobility issues with carrying your luggage up but this was only a small negative. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay!

The staff were very polite! And the hotel room was nice and cosy. The stairs are a pain, so just be aware that there is no lift. Other than that, a lovely stay, right next to the water front… the staff were helpful, and so so polite! Wil deffo visit again!

Wake up to a stunning sea view!

Very good hotel, less than a minute's walk from the beach. Could not fault the hotel's welcome and their breakfast was always excellent. Two points to highlight: There are a number of stairs inside the hotel which some people may struggle with. Secondly, the hotel's car park is 'first come, first served' so once you get a bay I'd recommend you leave it there for the night. I had to go out with the car and returned late to the hotel which meant I lost my bay for that night - be aware!
