"Stunning hotel, stunning location, we loved our stay and can’t wait to go back! Only very small issues be nice to allow pool use after checkout for kids on weekends as my son was really upset as they said we couldn’t . Breakfast buffet lovely - cooked breakfast random - husband asked how he’d like his eggs with his full english and asked for scrambled eggs. He then asked if he could get his bacon crispy and she said of course….he then only got scrambled eggs and bacon 😂. I asked for French toast without anything on it and got French toast with everything on it. Communication issues lol. Quite funny really."

"We stayed in room 314 and our room was spotless apart from window not staying open. Spa was good although jacuzzi broke on 2 days which was disappointing. Breakfast was nice although a little cold and tea/coffee machine not working but we asked for tea in a pot which came straight away Enjoyed our stay apart from seagulls early morning squawking"
