I had amazing views of the sea and the golf course. breakfast offered a great choice and the food was AMAZING!!! the room was so warm. The size was good, too. it was ideal for walkers and included free parking. Though, it did get busy.

The veggie curry portion was small! it cost me fifteen pounds. It was not worth that much.

ABSOLUTELY wonderful stay!

golf coursenice viewscute staffgood service

I had a GORGEOUS room overlooking the golf course. The breakfast was set out really nicely. The staff were cute and the service was very good. The views from the restaurant window, as I ate breakfast, were nice.

THE car park was covered in ice. A bit of grit would have been ideal, given the conditions.

friendly staffgood breakfasthigh priceearly closing

The food met expectations I must say. The breakfast had lots of choices and it was very good. The staff were friendly I must say. They were always available to help.

The price of drinks seemed quite high. A bottle of Chardonnay cost £26 that is quite expensive I think. The bar shut early at 9-30 pm. The place was quiet so they closed early this was disappointing.
