Very bad room and very noisy jurying the night as a pump kept going on every time the next room basi
Cons:

I booked a room on the sea view and I got a room at the back of the building
And I booked it in advance 6 weeks so I get the sea view and the hotel wouldn’t get that for me as it’s been confirmed that from the booking.com

Extremely disappointed, the hotel looked lovely in the photos
Pros:

The look of the hotel from the front

Cons:

Sea View was almost non existent from our room. Shower room was old and tatty with boiling hot water difficult to control. Television not working on arrival. The hotel seemed only to cater for coach parties, it was as though we were an inconvenience. Sticky wooden dining table (on one occasion the cutlery was stuck to the table). Poor choice at meal times (one meat option, one fish or one vegetarian), obviously cooked in batches like school dinners. Limited parking.
