Pros:

This lovely friendly clean hotel is right next to the beach and run by two fabulous hosts - we could not fault it and will be returning later this year.

A wonderful stay
Pros:

Really warm and friendly couple who run the hotel, bar open on request was great for watching the football, fantastic breakfast and overall great value for money. Room 5 has a sea view and bay window

Cons:

Nothing. It's nothing fancy but you wouldn't expect that for the price, and everything was clean and thoughtfully provided
