We only stayed one night but the staff were courteous and friendly.The food was well prepared and the rooms were clean and comfortable. A safety mat in the bath for use when showering would be helpful other than that no problems.

Tired hotel, terrible breakfast service

Stayed in room 111, large room and bathroom but looked out to a brick wall. Room was upstairs, across the corridor and back down some stairs! The was a dirty towel left at the side of the bed. Beds were comfortable and good shower. Breakfast was terrible! Went down around 9.30 and there was nothing left, I asked for more bacon and went back twice before it was replenished. No plates or cups left, very poor and disappointing. Nice large outdoor seating area overlooking the sea
