Adequate Stay
good amenities clean room seaside view tired bedroom old pillow needed makeover
the hotel provides plenty of amenities available. rooms are good, neat, and clean. bathrooms are good too, i'm happy with it. the backyard offers a good seaside view, what a treat!!!
my bedroom seemed very tired, i must say. pillows need changing, they were flat and old. the whole hotel apart from the bar, lounge and entrance area needs a makeover.

an acceptable stay
friendly staff dog friendly great cappuccino warm room healthy choices evening meal
the staff was friendly and ready to help. i liked that the hotel is dog friendly. cappuccino was GREAT and i enjoyed it every morning. the hotel sits above the coast so there is a STEEP stroll down to the beach.
the room was good but a little warm. i THINK the menu could use a review with more healthy choices. there were no evening meals available at the hotel, DIFFICULT to plan.
