wonderful coastal getaway
separate sinks rainfall shower sea view white linen
my room was a beautiful double room sea view. the room included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. the view from my window overlooked the sea and gardens. i found the plump pillows and crisp white linen excellent.
the menu was limited for fixed price options and most courses carried a hefty supplement.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay
noisy room improper bedding
The breakfast offered a reasonable selection.
I found several issues. The first room was quite noisy, I could clearly hear traffic throughout the night. The bedding also did not fit the bed properly, annoying (especially considering the price).

lovely hotel stay
fantastic position sea view comfortable bed
the position of the hotel is fantastic and right on the coast. i had a cosy double room and it was great and also had a sea view from large windows. the bed was comfortable with a choice of pillows. staff were great and breakfast substantial in a lovely dining room.
the room was noisy, largely due to a flimsy adjoining door to the next door room! always ring reception immediately in event of noise.

The beautiful double room with a sea view was fantastic. It provided such great views! the bed was very comfortable. breakfast had an excellent choice of options, that really set me up for the day.
The outdoor pool was closed for maintenance which was disappointing. I really wanted to swim. the hotel exterior needs painting and updating. the hotel sign also needs replacement. It looks a little tired.

I found the breakfast wonderful! It had lots of choice. The building downstairs was beautiful and the room was an excellent size. Everyone was really polite and nothing was too much trouble.
The restaurant manager seemed to have an instant issue with us, I found that strange. He practically ignored our existence. It was a bit rude. We were a younger couple, maybe that was why.
