Hotel was spotlessly clean, and in a greatly great location. Parking was ok, they have a small carpark, which they made very clear before coming, but a lot of gusts arrive by other means. The food was really good, and staff very helpful. The reception was always very busy, they seem to put a lot on the team there. The steam room and sauna were not working and pool was tiny, incredibly busy, and a little dirty.

This is deservedly a 4 star hotel. Almost everything rings quality. The food is of high quality, that is breakfast and dinner. The staf go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. It was just the outside appearance. All painted surfaces need urgent treatment. A great stay. May well go there again!

Location good, unless difficulty walking as it’s quite a steep walk from the town/beach back. Small payable car park. Although the rooms have more up to date furniture the rooms and buildings are looking quite tired and in need of decorating. The pool area is small so can get very busy.
