A very enjoyable stay at a lovey hotel.
Pros:

The hotel location was good for transportation, beach, and town. We were very welcome from the staff. The hotel itself was lovely with a big conservatory at the back. The dining room for breakfast was fitted out with white table cloths, making it a posh affair.

Cons:

The breakfast although very good. Could have had yogurts, pastries. Making it a more continual breakfasts, if you didn’t like a cooked breakfast.

Very much enjoyed our one night off-peak stay. Price was very reasonable.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. Room was nice, modern and with lots of storage space for luggage. Shower worked well. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Hot breakfast was lovely, but could have been a little better for the cold stuff, e.g. cereals etc. Very minor point - curtains in our room were raggedy and slightly torn at edges but still worked ok. Biggest issue was parking as the hotel has very limited parking spaces. however staff managed to help us out to get a spot.
