Lovely friendlyhotel with excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Hotel is in a nice sea front position with parking at the rear. Staff are extremely friendly, room is very comfortable and breakfast is excellent. Bar is well stocked with lots of seating options inside and out.

Cons:

Room was on the second floor but lift only goes to first floor. Not an issue when cases were in the room but when booking need to be aware of this.

Very enjoyable
Pros:

The breakfast with the toast was delicious and Patsy the waitress was exceptional and always went the extra mile for every customer.

Cons:

Weirdly an extra hook or two to hang outfits on when in the bathroom or bedroom when getting ready. Apart from that all good.
