I wasn't aware until I got there, that the kitchen was closed on Monday's and Tuesdays.
No cooked breakfast those mornings but more importantly. No lunchtime or evening meals available. Also the evening bar was closed.
All other days were perfect.

Pros:

The highlight of our trip was swimming at a wonderful cove, Maidencombe beach, which is a steep 20 minute walk down (and back up!) from the hotel. It also has a fabulous cafe which serves delicious breakfasts and lunches

Pros:

Continental breakfast on tuesday was v. Good. The staff were nice. The terrace was lovely. Parking was easy. The lounge was pleasant. The hotel decor was well-maintained.

Cons:

Be aware that rooms described as second floor rooms are in fact attic rooms, one with a flat roof, one with a skylight. Our stay was during a heatwave.

Beautiful Seaview,
Pros:

The staff were exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. We were let down by an Air BnB host on the day of our travel, and so this was a last minute booking - and worked out in our favour. We were upgraded room wise and it was absolutely beautiful, spacious and clean. The sea views from our room and the restaurant are wonderful. The food is absolutely fantastic here too! We had a fantastic time and would definitely return. Highly recommend!
