Pros:

The location was lovely.

Cons:

The breakfast was almost inedible. Had obviously been dished up and left under a hot lamp for ages. The sausage looked like it had had a bite out of it. We paid £150 for a sea view. We got a side view of the sea not what we expected for that price. This should have been made clear when booking. The staff were ok. Not very flexible with breakfast times etc. we were told to come down before 8 to be given a table number. Everyone then just had to go into breakfast at 8. It was a little like a cattle market.

Good position hotel, efficient staff Decent food
Pros:

Breakfast and evening meal all hard good selection well cooked and arrived at the table hot/ warm

Cons:

The staff were run off their feet with 3 coach’s stopping, but only fault they forgot about tea and coffee,
In other places we’ve stopped you got your own beverage by vending machine.
