Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
Pros:

The staff are super friendly and helpful, the hotel is a stones throw from the sea and they run regular evening events which are great fun.

We had a blast at the family friendly casino night on Friday.

Certainly not hotel standards. Overpriced for what you get. Would be returning to this accommodation.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The property is described as a hotel. Only 1 tiny soap was provided no other toiletries available in bathroom. The hand towels smelled like they had not been used for years and musky. The top bunk bed had springs poking through the mattress. My granddaughter could not sleep in it. The base of the double bed was not joined together and kept sliding apart the mattress on the double bed was rock hard and the pillows were very uncomfortable. The breakfast was very minimal and the tea and coffee at breakfast and in the room was awful. If I can think of anything positive to say it would be that the staff were very friendly and pleasant.
