Top mais un peu « sale »
Pros:

La proximité avec la plage, le bar et restaurant ainsi que le personnel. Le petit déjeuner était aussi très bon.

Cons:

Nous avons trouvé l’hôtel un peu sale. Les serviettes dans la chambre n’étaient pas propres, nos tasses à thé non plus et le sol non plus. Nous avons également retrouvé beaucoup de poussière dans nos bols pour le petit déjeuner.

We enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

We enjoyed the breakfast.

Cons:

The door to the bathroom stuck. I would have liked if a staff member had been on hand when my sister and I left.

Great Wee Spot
Pros:

Super comfy bed, excellent location for both town/beach/parkrun/sauna.
Staff are reallh friendly, great drinks selection including Alcohol Free.
Food portions at dinner were huge.

Cons:

Room was very cold, even with the heating on, food (albeit big portions) wasn''t the best quality - overcooked chicken strips, overcooked pasta, greasy onion rings etc. Would prefer smaller plates done better.
Bed wheeled itself away from the wall several times so I lost my pillow down the back, haha.
Take earplugs as it's noisy when live music is on (expected since it's a pub).
