We enjoyed our stay. Nice hotel, close to the water with beautiful views. The pillows were not great however. It took me a while to get to sleep as they were flat, bumpy and too firm. But the room had everything else that we needed. I would stay again.

Hotel is a bit basic clean and welcoming situated not far from train station and bus services also close to town centre which is like all others run down the harbour area is also a bit run down plenty of pubs nearby the swimming pool is OK.but there is no shower in the actual pool.area so when you come out Jacuzzi and Sauna you have to return to changing area shower and then return to the pool Food and Drink was not overly expensive and a good choice for Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
