all good
Pros:

99% of everything

Cons:

the light at the entrance was just above our window- therefore views of the town in the night obscured and we had to pull the curtains. and this made the experience a bit claustrophobic.

Jess and Kaman and every member of the team went the extra mile. Superb
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious plenty of choice and a sea view to enhance the experience. The waiter on both days was very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like but for people with mobility issues this hotel would not be suitable.

Breakfast was ok - but coffee and tea out of flasks was not good. Coffee unsinkable and tea water not hot. Very simple think to fox no excuse for lousy coffee

Thoroughly enjoyed it,despite generator noise & poor cooked breakfast. Eve meal great,Would return:)
Pros:

Beautifully decorated rooms & bathroom very comfortable beds & bedding. Everything you need. Really good lunch and eve meal and teas and cake. Good atmosphere.

Cons:

Generator outside kept me awake most of the night
Breakfast staff very pleasant but sadly the cooked breakfast let the side down and was poor and rather disappointing for us all. (Eggs hard! toms raw, bacon floppy & not nice. Toast hard & cold)
