Lovely hotel with excellent staff. The property is a little dated and could benefit from some refurbishment, but overall we had a pleasant stay. The only issue we experienced was parking on arrival, as there were no spaces available and we had plans for the day. However, the staff were extremely helpful, took my keys, and arranged to move the car as soon as a space became free. Their professionalism and willingness to help really made a difference.

Stayed here for 4 days. The property is about to be renovated and is very dated. But you get what you pay for. Great location, great views of the sea and beach. Difficult to get into the bathroom due to narrow opening between entrance and the shoer. But the shower is excellent. Well worth it for the money we paid. But renovation is literally about to start as of March 2026.

A two night weekend stay, quiet time of the year so was allocated a larger room than booked which was very much appreciated. Booking in and out was simple, staff were pleasant and room was clean and comfortable. No complaints, would happily stay here again.

Lovely views, room came with hair and body wash, bathroom was slightly small but worked for me and my cousin as we went for a couple days away, however the body wash gave her a really bad allergic reaction but no “ingredients” on the dispenser so not sure what to look out for! If you have sensitive skin or any allergies definitely be careful! Our 3 days there no one came and “topped up” any of our tea/coffee station! Staff were lovely.

The water took forever to get warm ish - never had a hot shower. Staff was limited, but friendly. We asked for clean towels on our way out in the morning; they never arrived…we picked them up ourselves at the front desk, after dinner.
