Great hotel with level walk to beach and shops. Parking at hotel for £10 for 24 hours with some good size bays for the larger car.The breakfast was good and the dinner options were also good. We stayed in a double with sea view on the second floor which was slightly tired but clean and comfortable. My only criticism was that at night it was very hot in October, requiring us to use the portable fan which was provided in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful.
