Cosy, newly decorated room with great shower. Plentiful parking and superb food.
Pros:

The room was extremely comfortable, freshly painted and newly carpeted. Very warm on a wild and wet weekend.

The shower was fantastic, one of the best we have experienced.

We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant over 3 days and everything we tried was freshly and superbly cooked and beautifully served.

The staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. Parking is plentiful too.

Cons:

Nothing!

Not worth the stay
Pros:

Beautiful sea views

Cons:

Bed was so uncomfortable, tv was on the wall but was off set from the bed so could really see it very well,shower was terrible , no pressure and not very warm.
No staff stay in the hotel after 11pm , was ok for me but wouldn’t like my wife or daughter staying there themselves over night alone
