Reviews
Even told the lady on reception (owner?) what a great hotel it was.
Brilliant breakfast with a great choice of food. Would definitely stay here again
Breakfast is incredible, along with the service from the staff.
We upgraded to a sea view room, which was a great choice. The room was a really good size, the bed was comfy, and having a fridge in the room was a big plus. The TV had broadband, so we could watch things in the evening, which was ideal after a long day out.
There were a couple of downsides. Our first room had a damaged TV (not their fault), but they moved us without any fuss, even though we were not reporting or expecting to move rooms. Storage-wise there also was not much space to put clothes, and there were a few small signs of wear in the room such as a missing door lock piece and a safe that was not working.
That said, it did not spoil the stay at all. Breakfast was really nice every morning, with high-quality food, buffet style, and ready to go. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.
The rooms were clean and great!
The reception building and the accommodation were in separate buildings.
