Very decent hotel with the reception staff as a highlight.
Pros:

Great hotel right on the beach. Parking is provided too though its a little tight! It's a great location with loads of easy and interesting walks around. The hotel is well maintained with the added bonus of a bar and restaurant. The highlight however were the staff on reception. Extremely helpful and fun to chat to.

Cons:

The room was basic and had no view. I backed into the kitchen and staff areas so it was occasionally noisy. Breakfast was a let down, the standard wasn't great to be honest, and the selection was limited. Could do better there!

Still a lovely place to stay.
Pros:

Had a lovely room and the hotel is such a great place to stay.

Cons:

Found evening staff in the bar/restaurant very nice but not very attentive. Not clearing plates or tables although there were a number of staff chatting only one boy seemed to be working. Food wasn’t as nice as I remember from our last stay.
