Pros:

Nice seaview with a small narrow balcony. The staff that I spoke to were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bath was tiny and had almost no legroom between the pan and the bath. The bath tap dripped for several hours after use (kept me awake being a light sleeper) and the bedroom was extremely hot, despite using the plug in fan. The fan guard had to be adjusted as it was catching on the fins, but an easy fix. There was visible long hair in the bath presumably from the previous guests.

The food was nice the first night and a reasonable portion size. However, on the the second night, the portion size was small and bad value for money.

Took over an hour to book in.

As there are no evening meals, I might look elsewhere next time.
Pros:

As in previous years it was what i expected.

Cons:

In previous years the evening meals where exceptional. However this year I was more than disappointed in fact upset ,that we hadn't been told that evening meals would not be available.
