We were exhausted after several days of driving and sight seeing and needed a peaceful place for a couple of days. The ocean view room was perfect for us. It allowed us to enjoy a time of rest and beauty.

Sadly they put me in a room above the ballroom where there was a very noise event/music/band playing. And on Monday I wake up to banging noise on the roof as they were fixing the roof.

When we were checking out we asked the receptionist where we could buy a new umbrella nearby. She went and got us one from their lost & found collection, saying “people leave umbrellas behind in their rooms all of the time”. She saved us time and money AND saved the planet some landfill space by recycling a perfectly good umbrella! Our room was perfect, the hotel was quiet, our breakfast and dinner were very good and the hotel was within walking distance to a local pub with an “open” session where my wife filled a bucket list dream of playing in a session in Ireland!
The session at The Kicking Donkey Pub!

The reception and front lobby has been upgraded to a more modern style which is excellent. The staff are amazing and the breakfast was perfect. The hotel doesn't have room air-conditioning and we arrived in a heatwave in July 2025.Upon the receipt of a 20 Euros deposit the hotel will give you a desk fan if it's needed. It definitely made a difference to our stay.
