Lovely hotel,all the staff were great from the the moment we arrived to when we left..it was only an overnight stay but we would definately book to come back..especially pleased and grateful that they were able to accommodate one of our group who had been let down by a booking elsewhere,we had a double room and a twin booked,the twin was a family room so there was a spare bed so was an easy fix,they could've said no but were extremely accommodating,thankyou..I like the little attention to detail,breakfast was really nice,things like the toast brought out before the main so you can eat it hot,not brought out with the main so it goes cold,the beans in a separate little pot so they don't make everything soggy,these little,subtle things make for a good stay..the room was clean and comfy and the shower hot,always a bonus !! All in all a very good stay,quiet at night and lovely to be able to wake up to see the sea view..thankyou...

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS HOTEL. FANTASTIC POSITION OPPOSITE THE BEACH AND 5 MINUTES FROM THE HARBOUR. HOTEL WAS SPOTLESS EVERYWHERE. PAID FOR A BALCONY ROOM AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. STAFF SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL. LOVELY COMFY BED WITH NICE LINEN. FOOD REALLY GOOD. DIDN`T WANT TO LEAVE. WILL DEFINITELY RETURN

Simply perfect! The location was perfect for a seaside stay, just what I was looking for. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout and went above and beyond to be lovely. Our room was clean, comfortable, and very quiet – I slept really well. Great facilities too, with a generous selection of tea, coffee, and even some biscuits provided, which was a lovely touch. Overall, excellent value for the price. I’d definitely book again!
