From arrival to departure, couldn't be better!
Jamie and the team are always so kind and generous when I stay. Nothing is too much trouble, and they go the extra mile to ensure everything is taken care of. The rooms are generous in size, with a cosy feel to them, the food is excellent and the ambience couldn't be nicer.

Clean room with seaview and lots of cushions.
Nice clean quite spacious room with double bed and sea view, free local council parking well situated to the rear of the hotel, but very bumpy (four by four recommended). The reception was friendly.
