room was a little jaded (curtains not well arranged, window had a beading missing, and the bathroom was just a little past its prime) and the tea/coffee hidden in a cupboard (why?) and there was only one sachet of hot choc and one pack of biscuits for two occupants - but the bed was huge, and we loved the two bottles of still & sparkling water which met our two preferences! These days a couple of charging points would also be welcome. Chosen for location so can't fault that - and the lovely doorman (the local cat) was an absolute asset to the hotel. Would book again.

Great customer service attended to my requests and speedy reply to messages. Room was clean and comfortable. Terrace is a lovely place to sit and relax overlooking the sea as well as enjoying food and drinks with friends. All bar staff were lovely and friendly. Food was lovely too.

Having booked a sea view room with balcony, we were somewhat disappointed to find that outside of our room was the kitchen extraction fan & ductwork. We therefore rejected this room but unfortunately the hotel, being fully booked for the night of the 27th May for the one night we remained insitu. Having requested to be moved the following day without fuss, we were moved to a second floor room which was perfect for the remainder of our stay. The hotel even moved our possessions themselves after we had packed them up! The breakfast is first class with a very good selection of cooked food and served with panache by ?

Happy days! The view from our room was lovely. We could see the beach and also the harbour. The shower was a little difficult for me as it's over the bath but I managed quite well once I got used to it. The terrace seating is lovely.

Location and the food was good, and the staff worked hard and were very pleasant. However the room we were given was very small very basic and in need of upgrading. Which was a bit disappointing. Also the floor boards and stairs were very creaky, and the cornice, and decorative mouldings needed repairs. But apart from those points, we enjoyed our stay.
