A beautiful hotel right on the seafront
Pros:

A beautiful spacious room with great facilities. Beautiful food, fantastic service and quick

Cons:

Not exactly a sea view as we overlooked the carpark but it was fine. A few too many stairs for my Mum who is normally in a wheelchair for any distance. I unfortunately didn't note this on the booking so ended up with a second floor room. For our one night stay it was fine but if we had been staying longer I would have enquired about a room change.

Fabulous hotel in a fabulous location.
Pros:

The hotel is lovely and situated in the perfect place overlooking the sea.
We stayed in a superior double room with balcony. The balcony views are perfect.
The room was a nice size, clean and airy. The furniture is a little tired but more than adequate and the bed was comfortable.
The lounge area is the perfect place to relax with a coffee or a glass of wine.
The staff are fantastic, welcoming and friendly. Special mention to Izzy, who made us feel so welcome, Mia and Patsy who were just lovely and James who went above and beyond.
Overall, we had an smazing couple of days.

Cons:

Nothing.
