Good, but needs attention
Pros:

Very well run, staff generally very good. Attentive

Cons:

The room was a little tired, in need of a spruce up. Bathroom generally good but shower screen leaks, no extraction, couldnt really open the window as seagulls would come in.

Lovely location, great hotel.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Breakfast was very good, and gluten free option was okay although gf cereals were only mentioned as an option on the second morning.

Cons:

The building is old and therefore quite creaky, which we expected however it was really bad at the side of the bed, and the heating pipes clicked all the time the heating was on.
