The hotel was lovely decor but found that the bed was just made everyday and notice that the bathroom wasn’t clean each day we stayed . The food was ok but wasn’t enough Choice . Breakfast was poor in tact the portions were small . Staff were lovely and very helpful although their uniforms were a bit scruffy looking .

Beautiful hotel in a stunning setting, overlooking the sea Our room in one of the seaview suites, a short walk from hotel entrance, was very well appointed, with a seperate seating area with comfortable sofa, TV and tea/coffee making facilities.
