Very welcoming on arrival, lovely room clean and tidy. The bed was a bit on the small side and the shower could be a bit more powerful maybe a different shower head that is a bit more adjustable so that you can back in the bath a little. Bar lounges were excellent with lovely seating areas and plenty of space.Outside seating gave you a lovely sea view. Food was good but would possibly like to see nuts/crisps available in the bar. My one disappointment was when the draught beer was not working we had to get bottles of beer which was turning out more expensive with the cost of £6 a small bottle compared to £7 a pint, maybe in cases like this a deal should be offered. Any member of staff we came across were cery friendly and approachable. Will definitely be back Would/will definitely return
