The breakfast was excellent, the staff were attentive! i found the reception and bar areas very friendly. room service and cleansing staff were efficient. This made my mornings so much easier. the handy off road parking made things easy for my vehicle.
the hotel decor seemed a little dated. not a huge issue for me, but something i noticed.

poor parkingsmall teacups
I found the parking arrangements quite inconvenient. The hotel requested I move my car after a trip to the beach. A coach needed the space I had occupied. The small teacups in the room were also a letdown. I prefer a proper mug for a decent drink of tea.
