Lovely seaside hotel with friendly staff and super breakfast. Room was very small…. Never stayed in such a small room. Paid for a double but it was a single at best. Bed side tables were tiny shelves. Uncomfortable as a result, It was, however, very clean.

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!
