Hotel was really nice, friendly staff, breakfast was really good and the lady serving was really nice and welcoming. Room was clean and spacious, some areas look a little tired in the room which could be resolved without too much effort to make the stay that extra bit special. Would definitely go back and try and different room.

A lovely peaceful hotel, beautifully decorated. Pleasant staff. Relaxing bar and lounge. Good choice at breakfast. Free parking and ideally located with a shortish walk to the beach (via Toft zigzag). Not too far from town centre which is 5 mins by car.
