A traditional old up-market seaside hotel with pleasant public rooms, very limited wifi (reception or, if you are lucky, the dining room) and a GOOD restaurant.
Rooms were well fitted out albeit with antiquated plumbing behind the refurbished bathrooms. Our bed was harder or firmer than we are used to and lacked a headboard, but the room had good views out over the sea.
Our room was not as advertised on 2 hotel booking websites, but the receptionist (owner?) assured me, quite firmly, that "they" (the hotel) had never ever had the 32" TV or satellite service, and they had never advertised the rooms as having baths (there was a mixer shower with pretty poor pressure). So, the websites must have got the descriptions wrong.
The car park is large but mainly sloping, uneven gravel. The views from the terrace and bar, and some bedrooms, are glorious. A new dining platform has been built to the front looking out over the sea (across the access road) but was not in use.
Overall we felt this hotel was priced for the online adverts, and the lack of wi-fi, basic TV channels and low water pressure suggested that there was a surface gloss on an old property that will not stand the test of time.
Staff were generally young, enthusiastic & courteous. Bar service (by the owner?) was hectic & slow and delivered in T shirt and shorts well into the evening; the guests made an effort to dress up, but the owner(s) didn't; they seemed to be working hard but tired. As was the hotel itself.
