Nice hotel, appears to have been recently modernised but location was a bit too far from the village and the food in the
Pros:

Good value for money. Large spacious and clean rooms in the new section of the hotel. Very dog friendly, with a convenient dog walking paddock to the side of the garden. Staff were extremely pleasant especially Chris on front reception so went the extra mile to help us get into the village quicker as we were late for dinner !

Cons:

The room was very hot and could do with some air conditioning although there was a fan. The bed was quite firm. The evening meal we had in the restaurant was rather bland and ordinary. Location was a good 15 minutes walk from the village plus another 10 to the beach although the beaches in the immediate area aren’t particularly accessible.

Very welcoming, a pleasant stay.
Pros:

We were there for a friends ‘wake’ which was well catered and staff very switched on and attentive. All subsequent catering was excellent. Dinner very good (chicken schnitzel) and salmon with scrambled egg for breakfast splendid!
My room was rather too warm and window only openable a crack so not a perfect night’s sleep; plus fridge rather noisy so had to turn off as discussed with reception. Overall we were very impressed and would stay again.
