Overall a pleasant stay and I would return if in the area again.
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and helpful.
The room was spacious and very clean with a walk-in wardrobe.
It was a good location for our needs and a lovely beach nearby.
It was good value for money.

Cons:

The room and bathroom needed a bit of of an update. There was peeling laminate on the headboards and chest of drawers. It would be practical to have a bedside lamp. A walk-in shower would be more comfortable than over the bath. Though the shower itself was powerful.
It would be nice if complementary water was replenished each day. We only had water on the first night. And if possible a non-dairy milk option in the room for tea/coffee.
For dinner there was only one starter and one main that were suitable for vegans. So apart from one evening, we ate elsewhere.
