Stayed for 2 nights. Recommend the hotel. Staff are exceptional. The sea is literally across the road, unfortunately our lovely room was at the back, so no sea view, but didn't spoil our stay. Would definitely go back.

Despite friendly staff this hotel is in a poor state. The central heating didn’t work but there was a tiny oil filled radiator in the room. The shower pressure was barely enough today wet. There was no plug in the hand basin. The room smelt musty. The bedside lamp couldn’t work as there was no plug ...
