Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome; hotel in a great location and the room was spacious with a wonderful view, specialist diet/allergies catered for on the varied breakfast menu. Clearly the hotel is being refreshed under new management for 2026. We managed to park each time, but imagine it could be more difficult in high season when things are busier.

Stayed here for 4 days. The property is about to be renovated and is very dated. But you get what you pay for. Great location, great views of the sea and beach. Difficult to get into the bathroom due to narrow opening between entrance and the shoer. But the shower is excellent. Well worth it for the money we paid. But renovation is literally about to start as of March 2026.

Lovely views, room came with hair and body wash, bathroom was slightly small but worked for me and my cousin as we went for a couple days away, however the body wash gave her a really bad allergic reaction but no “ingredients” on the dispenser so not sure what to look out for! If you have sensitive skin or any allergies definitely be careful! Our 3 days there no one came and “topped up” any of our tea/coffee station! Staff were lovely.
