Great location, friendly staff, amazing views, comfortable rooms

Right next to the road at ground level got a bit noisy with traffic. Double glazing might help.

Loved it apart from the smells.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I’ve stayed at the hotel before, but this time we stayed in what I would describe like a chalet. The room was modern but it smelt really bad of damp they was signs of black mould. There was also a smell near the window of what smelt of urine. I did report to the staff.
