Love this hotel this was our 3rd time staying here, lovely clean spacious rooms, beds are so comfy, rooms have everything you need for a night or a few days away. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Straight across the road from the beach and not far from the town centre. Will definitely be staying again.

Loved our family room just above reception. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom great too. Staff throughout were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb.
