Fantastic location, lovely rooms, friendly staff
Pros:

Fabulous coastal location and views. Beautiful rooms. Incredibly dog (pet) friendly - welcomed in all areas. Huge outside space (if weather is good this is an amazing spot to have a few drinks). Very accessible to beach/sea/promenade/walks and hikes.

Cons:

Very small bar serving very large number of guests - hotel guests and day trippers. For such a hugely popular venue the bar is very small which meant service could be a tad slow. Other than that, it's fabulous.

Pros:

Our stay was wonderful despite the weather. Fabulous spot for the beach and dog walking. Cannot recall a friendlier staff not just to us but to our canine companion who was very nervous of other dogs but was given unstinting patience and attention. Parking excellent. Food was delicious if over-generous in portions!

Lovely room and great sea views.
Pros:

The room was lovely.

Cons:

We felt the staff were really overworked, lots of dishes, empty glasses etc everywhere in the bar and restaurant areas and too many customers with not enough staff to clear and serve.
The same staff were on duty yesterday lunchtime and evening and breakfast this morning.
That said they were all fantastic , nothing was too much trouble and they did a brilliant job.
