Very relaxing. Just what I needed.
Pros:

Breakfast excellent. Dinner lovely. Room overlooking sea, great.

Cons:

The porthole beside my bed (Room 107) let in too much light. I can only sleep when it's really dark. Fortunately it doesn't get light too early in October.

Comfortable and very Relaxing stay in a great location.
Pros:

Lovely location , nice chilled atmosphere at the same time classy.
Comfortable rooms, lovely bed and great sea views.
Very friendly staff.

Cons:

Only issue we had was a wrong bottle of wine being brought over for dinner. It was opened before we checked the label. This was resolved though after discussion and an alternative to what we asked for was chosen.

Adequate but a bot disappointing.... however the staff were brilliant
Pros:

location great staff great

Cons:

Place was really tired in certain areas
Veranda area especially
Filthy ash trays not emptied
Veranda needed sweeping badly
One miserable member of staff who was clearly not happy
Very basics stuff which begs the question where was the manager and why didn't he/she nitice and correct any of this!
Filthy windows which i appreciate is a ckbatant battle on a beach area.
