Feels like Faulty Towers

Email information prior to stay was excellent. Mismatch between hotels.com website information and hotel interactions. We expected to ‘pay at property’. Hotel demanded payment a day ahead over phone or booking would be cancelled. Then the card payment failed as they didn’t request correct security information so our bank wouldn’t authorise. (according to my bank) This resulted in three long and tedious phone calls to resolve. Despite the issue being on their side they put pressure on us to provide other cards details so they could try them which we were uncomfortable to do. When we checked in we had to decide on breakfast choice there and then. They also needed to know the exact time we wanted breakfast and phoned us multiple times to get this. It felt like a lot of pressure. Sadly, this overshadowed our stay and the nice touches such as help yourself to cake and refrigerated water available 24 hours seemed insignificant by comparison. Not somewhere we would return to in a hurry.

Great older property with lots of charm. The gentleman working the front desk was very helpful and kind. It was a bit warm on the top level (seasonably hot weather). but otherwise it was amazing, also lots of stairs to be aware of. The location was great and easily walkable to the sea!
