Hotel lovely location overlooking the sea. Nice quiet location with bar and restaurant. Fish and chips was massive however wasn’t great thought it would be amazing as seaside location but no flavour however the Caesar salad looked amazing. Beds super comfy and everything you need in the room. Great stay overall.

We have stayed here before and was impressed, had my birthday here with 12 guests, everyone loved the food, the service was excellent all the staff were so helpful and kind made our stay memorable. We had room 601, which has the viewing room at the top, the sunset was amazing. We will be back, trouble is my 12 guests want room 601 too.
