Exceeded expectations- great base for weekend and wonderful hospitality from staff
Pros:

The hotel was great value for money- spotlessly clean and comfortable bedrooms. Conveniently located for main promenade and surprisingly quiet at night. It was really refreshing to stay in a family run business which is part of the local community. Much respect to the Gurkha service of the owner, the regimental memorabilia and Nepalese cultural items were very nice touches. Buffet food was great, especially hot Nepalese curry. Bar is good value and has mix of local people as well as guests.

Cons:

Nothing
