Lovely hotel, beautiful decor and furnishings especially the reception, bar and restaurant area. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a standard room, a bit on the small side but very clean. A shame there wasn't a lift facility as I struggle with stairs because of arthritis! Plus steps leading up to hotel entrance. So not suitable for any disability! Lovely area and close to the beach, amenities, restaurants and town centre. Good regular transport facility too!

The only downside were the parking facilities. Only 3 spaces. However, apart from that everything was excellent. The food quality and quantity, the friendly staff, the room and facilities were all excellent. Highly recommended.
