As many people said previously no free parking on site unless you stay in suite i had a great single room overlooking the sea which is unusual for a single quality of food was excellent & all staff were very accommodating & on leaving the person on reception carried my bags to the car a glass of wine was the most money i've paid ever i would come back

Remote carpark expensive at £15-40 for 24 hours. No pavement to the town for some distance. Hotel not very clean - dirty floor and table. Paintwork needed attention particularly in the reception area. Food average, drinks expensive. Room service non existent. Staff pleasant and helpful. The whole place needs an internal refurbishment.

Staff extremely helpful, room clean, comfortable and well appointed. I suspect parking would be an issue in summer as relies on public car park but worked for us in February!
