Very lovely staff, clean rooms and convenient location. Great basic gym and the spa facilities were an added luxury. The only negative was the breakfast - the toaster was set on so hing it burned the toast in one round and the healthy fresh options were non-exixtent. The breakfast is not worth paying for for any plant-based people.

Lovely hotel close to the beach

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Staff were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the area. Situated near the beach, it was about 2 min walk to the beach and another 5 mins to the pier. We used the pool and facilities which were nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely and staff quick and attentive to clear dishes away.

The location is excellent to access the town and the beach. The spa facilities were good but the jacuzzi wasn't working. The food was good but not much of fruit options. The dinner prices were expensive. The room was cleaned, quiet and I could rest.

Beautiful hotel in great location, room I had was comfortable & spacious for a single room but great to see it was a large single bed so plentiful for me being 6ft 4 tall. Good wifi..sometimes collapsed but came back quickly. Would stay again, this time couldnt experience spa & pool because of achilles injury.
