Pros:

I loved the staff and the dinner was exceptional. The position on the seafront had awesome views..parking at the back was easy..

Cons:

At night when water nit running there was a bad smell coming up through the pipes into the room. I shut the bathroom door to stop the smell into the main room and after everyone used their bathrooms in the morning the smell disappeared. This wasnt a huge problem but staff member in the morning was dismissive of me letting him know so guess the issue will not be addressed...he was more interested in me writing a good review on Trip Advisor..

Great location, friendly staff and lovely breakfast
Pros:

Great location with views across the bay and easy walk into town. Really friendly staff. Wide range of hot breakfast items, all well cooked.

Cons:

Our room was a strange mixture of really nice things which felt luxury (e.g. curtains and bed area) mixed with downmarket decoration of the walls and a bit of a Travelodge feel to the other half the room.

Stay was adequate but not memorable.
Pros:

Faced the sea

Cons:

Got room at back of hotel and had to enter it by leaving hotel, walking under archway at side, entering door on left, climbing lots of steps, no lift, felt separated from the hotel itself.
