Pros:

The hotel is in a perfect location. Close to town and access to the beach. My room was lovely recently decorated I believe overlooking the sea. Tea, coffee and biscuits were replenished every day. All staff and security were really friendly. Will definitely return.

Cons:

The floor boards above were a little thin. We could hear footsteps and drawers.

Beautiful seaview rooms, but very dated.
Pros:

Very comfortable beds with great seaview. Great location. Good tea and coffee in the room.

Cons:

The corridors of the hotel are like a hostel. Breakfast was bland and tasteless with really mixed (some awful) service. Expensive for what it is.

Overall, a good place to stay in a good location but be aware the cheaper rooms are the ones that haven’t yet been updat
Pros:

It was a great location and the staff were very helpful. Our shower head needed replacing and they sorted it within minutes.

Cons:

Only half of the hotel has been updated and you do get slightly tricked when seeing all those pictures first when looking to book. We had a twin room and it was comfy and did the job but definitely outdated.
