Great location with beautify views and really friendly staff. Matresses in twin room need to be replaced as too soft and
Pros:

Great location, beautiful building inside and out. Every staff member were so friendly and welcoming. View from our room over the memorial and the sea in the distance was lovely.

Cons:

We were in a twin room. The mattresses on the bed need to be replaced. They were extremely soft and bouncy, that you could feel the bed springs, which sadly led to a very uncomfortable sleep.
The bar was full which was fine as you could take your drinks into the foyer. It did took a long time to be served as only one person serving. I would recommend more bar staff at bust times.
