Pros:

Veldig bra service og hyggelige folk.

Cons:

Ganske bra frokost. Litt bratt bakke ned til stranden for oss som hadde rullestol.
Kunne vært mulig å kjøpe mat etter kl 21.

It used to be a nice hotel and staff were lovely, shows how a few years away can affect your stay. Beach was good though
Pros:

Lovely beach access, free car park and good breakfast service. Younger gentleman on the reception desk, was so lovely.

Cons:

Room was dirty (cobwebs on ceiling) needed a refresh (bathroom extractor fan broken). Room had no cooling system besides a small fan in 30degree weather we were the top floor so very hot. Chrome casting to the room tv caused multiple issues, including other guests being able to have access to my partners streaming accounts and using it in different rooms. Discussed with staff but no action taken. Dinner in Beats Bar, very poor, had a fly in our water jug… chicken was rubbery… staff were not attentive or particularly kind.

Lovely location, staff were professional, nice stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was nice. No complaints 👌

Bar menu was not up to expectation. Very limited especially for children. Something to look at from the catering team. Value for money not so much I'm afraid.
