Brilliant hotel
Pros:

The hotel was excellent, very comfortable, sparkling clean and wonderful situation. Room 26 looked over the green and the sea and could not have had a better view. It was also close to shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

A lift would have been good but obviously in a building that old not practical. We were offered a hand with our case as on the 2nd floor. A very small price to pay for such a brilliant hotel.
