In need for a returb. Could not fault the staff one bit who were extremely courteous. Try and get a room in the ‘lodge’ where the rooms seem to be a bit more updated.

Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel. Beautiful views. Excellent breakfast. Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Really friendly and accommodating staff. One very minor negative - only 2 plug sockets in room, which accommodated the tv and kettle, so makes it tricky to charge phones, dry/straighten hair etc. But I'd definitely stay again

Never stay again
Rooms are old and need refurbishment and not clean .Room 20 doesn't have a shower, only a bath and a very small bathroom. The mattress definitely needs changing.

Decent oldish hotel.
Overall it was a wonderful stay, though we had a couple of "little niggles" which took the edge off of it. On two occasions there was no water supply to our room for short periods of time, (just as we wanted to shower!), and on one day our room was not serviced by the chambermaid, even though I went to the front desk twice to ask, when they seemed to be running very late, and was told that they had finished for the day. Anyway, our room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable, and a good breakfast every day too. Generally happy though.

Lovely Hotel, Passable Room
Whilst the general Hotel facilties were fairly good, the room itself left more to be desired. The Toilet/Shower was quite small for a Superior room, and there were spots of peeling wallpaper in the room and not much colour. The View from the room was lovely though, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location is very nice.

Great hotel with fabulously friendly, helpful staff. Breakfasts were varied and well cooked and the evening meal we had one night was excellent - the dining room overlooks the sea which was great. Our trip was in early March so somewhat out of season, and places we wanted to visit were closed (especially on Mon/Tues) but staff came up with other ideas of where to go including recommendations for lunch. Room was clean, spacious and warm, if a little tired/dated, but good supplies of tea/coffee etc. Shower was good and hot water plentiful. Swimming pool looked lovely too. Definitely recommend!
