“The hotel's location certainly shines, placing you within easy walking distance of both the beach and town. I found the blend of Victorian architecture and leisure facilities appealing, with the pools being a definite highlight. While some areas show their age, the comfortable beds and sea views from certain rooms still create a positive experience.”
