Pros:

The location is the best! Right on the beach with easy access
Fantastic breakfast and service.
Comfy room and beds.

Cons:

The linen was to 'hard' and hot.
We missed the Grill Room dinner with 'live' music due to lack of information on hotel's offerings.
I was overwhelmed by outside visitors.
No space for us in the bar while we're staying there!

Pros:

Historic site and brilliant old excellence,. But it all was well maintained and nostalgic and to our liking.

Cons:

There was a lack of service tou guest toilets at entrance. There should be a permanent steward to look after this facility always.
