A 92nd birthday treat for our father, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pros:

Brilliant location, good breakfast, clean and comfortable room.

Cons:

We almost didnt check in because the entrance to reception was so untidy, unswept, dirty windows, and absolutely uninviting, but once up the stairs to reception it was much better. The terrace on the beach front is almost shameful, it has not been swept or cleaned for some time, rusty stools, and dreadfully slow service.

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Parking facilities - very limited car parking spaces. A member of staff kindly sorted a space out for us but it's a shame the hotel doesn't have a bigger designated area for parking.

Pros:

The situation was glorious. The food was excellent.

Cons:

The room was too basic. No dressing gown, face cloth. Out of date t.v. no mini bar.
The staff were polite but only 2 were friendly enough with me a 83 year old lone traveller. And no porters at all to help carry bags. These 2 issues were poor.
