Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some positives like a great view from the rooms and a convenient outside door leading to the garden for my dog, but there were noticeable cleanliness issues with worn-out bedding and tatty furniture. The service was warm and accommodating, offering useful amenities like a drying room and even allowing our granddaughter to stay. The location was excellent, close to the beach and town, but the winter staff cutbacks made it hard to find reception staff. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some nights being excellent while others were just ordinary. Overall, a mixed stay with a few highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel was comfortable and clean, with very friendly staff. The view from the room overlooked roof tiles instead of the sea, which was a minor downside. Overall, a good experience.
The hotel had very spacious rooms with a warm, friendly atmosphere. The double and single bed were very comfortable, and the room was clean and spacious despite the radiator being on full. I would definitely recommend and book again.
