We had a great stay at the hotel. The location is great, easy to find, plenty of parking and very close to sea front in a quiet a picturesque setting. Our Room was lovely, very comfortable bed, everything else you need and a stunnung sea view. Food was very nice, high quality breakfast and staff were friendly, attentive and couldnt do more for you which creates a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend and im sure we'll be back when next in the area.

Lovely hotel. We had a great nights sleep. The service was a bit hit and miss on the night of our visit and they seemed a little unorganised. The food was lovely though. The bathroom was a little tired with black mold. Hard to access the bar area through the hotel as the stairs down are not the best if your mobility is not perfect.

Beautiful sea views
Beautiful sea view and the room was perfect. Atmosphere was great. We had diner and the food was really good although the portion on lamb dish was on the small side. Good selection of drinks. Great outside seating. We took the dog and we were able to let him off the lead as the grounds were big enough for him to have a run around. Very peacful and a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was amazing will be staying again

The 'Cellar Bar' was quaint if you like cellars and being served short measures. I had a pint of Guiness and when it came I asked if it could be topped up as when it had settled it was 4/5ths full. The arrogant waiter refused...which in this case was illegal. Guiness is my preffered drink so I'm used to how it's served. Won't be returning.
