Beautifully situated hotel a 2min walk to the beach. The hotel common areas are kept beautifully but the rooms are dated and not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Could seriously do with a walk in shower rather than a shower over the bath which struggled to keep tje water temperature it was either scolding or freezing! Breakfast was delicious and really varied, and cooked poached eggs to perfection!
