The hotel is situated in a fantastic location but it’s tired and need a lift.
The hotel is closing down for a revamp and I’m sure it will make a fantastic difference but it for me is ideal for what we want.

Lovely hotel
We have a lovey beach view room it had everything we needed, breakfast was lovely freshly made, the table with yogurts fruit and cereal was always well stocked up, staff were very friendly and helpful.
We had an email few days before saying there was a function on the night we got there but didn't hear a thing from them. Hotel was only a short walk from shops pubs etc.
We would definitely stay again.

Oozes Old World Character
This is a glorious hotel that is full of character and old world elegance. It’s best days may be gone but it is still a charming place to stay in a great location. The sea view was spectacular and the indoor pool very nice. The room was small but comfortable and the staff delightful.
