Pros:

Ein tolles Hotel mit toller Lage.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Bay View Fenster - war traumhaft. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Zimmer war sauber und die Betten sehr gemütlich. Es befinden sich sowohl ein paar Pubs als auch der Strand ganz in der Nähe.
Parkmöflichkeiten gibt es an der Straße.

Cons:

Die Badewanne im Zimmer hatte einen sehr hohen Einstieg, für ältere Menschen eher schwierig.

Highly recommend
Pros:

Lovely rooms, wonderful staff, excellent bar and restaurant. All of the meals were delicious. Location right in the center of town across from beach.

Cons:

There is no parking lot, but luckily there were plenty of parking spaces on the street around the hotel because it was the end of the season.

What a view
Pros:

Very central and boy what a view!! It’s a little “Oldy worldly” but it’s a proper hotel. Food in Hickies Bar superb and breakfast even better.

Cons:

I travelled solo- room was absolutely perfect for my needs but would’ve been a little tight if my husband joined me!! Sockets a little weirdly located…had trouble plugging in the kettle…. En suite also a little tight… but was perfect for my needs on a 1 nighter.
