The room had coffee and tea making facilities (very convenient for early mornings). The meals were lovely and staff was very helpful. I had a standard twin room sea view. It overlooked the harbor, so it offered great views.
The bathroom was a bit snug (i found it slightly small).

Mixed Experience, Beautiful Location
nice locationgreasy batterslow service
The location is very nice (overlooking the beach).
The food quality disappointed me. I ordered fish and chips. The batter was too thick and greasy. My partner's burger was overcooked and dry, actually. The service was slow (even though the restaurant wasn't very busy), and the staff seemed uninterested.

The bathroom was a bit snug, made maneuvering a little challenging.

The sea view from my room was fine, overlooking the bay. The hotel was very nice and neat. Breakfast offered a good selection of both continental and cooked options. The quality was amazing!
I noticed some steps leading down to the hotel from the car park, which could be a challenge for some guests.
