It’s a gorgeous setting and our room looked right out over the water, such a view! Staff were lovely and breakfast was spot on. The room was on the smaller side, and the window could do with replacing as the bottom panel spoiled the view a little, plus we noticed some traffic noise in the mornings. But honestly, those are tiny things compared to how much we loved it here. Would definitely stay again. ##### Rachel Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 25 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A lovely hotel & all the staff were very helpful. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely property with a very nice breakfast.

Comfortable hotel, with wonderful views of the sea from front facing rooms. Traffic can be noisy though. Staff seemed to be scarce - often no-one on reception, or in bar, but those who were on duty were very willing and helpful. We were a large family group, and they went out of their way to keep us together for breakfast and dining - service was good. ##### Sandra Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Gillian 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Booked via Expedia for 4 nights half board.
