It was an excellent place for a short stay with its seaviews, caring service and good food
Pros:

The location was excellent, especially as we were booked to see an event at the theatre next door.
The view of the sea from our window was lovely.
The friendly welcome and feeling of care for our needs was much appreciated.
We liked the bright and airy dining room with good range of drinks, snacks and meals. Some of these were novel ideas to us like choice of small or large cooked breakfasts.
It was a generally kind and thoughtful level of service which made us feel we'd like to come back either to stay or to use the cafe/bar We liked that relaxed mixed use. I also liked that you had a sitting room for staying guests which might be good if staying longer
The bedroom, bathroom and all associated linen was spotless and nice quality.
The in room drink making facilites were excellent, with a good choice and nice mugs.

Cons:

Due to the small gap between bed and wall when my husband fell out while turning over he had difficulty getting up and sustained grazes and bruising to his knee from the skirting board and a cut and bruising to his elbow. At home we have a King size bed but bigger room and he can only sleep on that side due to spinal issues. I booked a King size bed expecting larger space around.

We would have appreciated a blanket as well as the duvet but couldn't see one.
