Beachfront Hotel
My wife and I stayed in a Sea View room January 2026. The room was spacious, modern and clean. The view of the sea was brilliant. Easy to find with ample parking. Staff were all very helpful.

Shining Star Beachfront Accommodation
Such a relaxed place to stay right on the beach. Just across the road from the glow worms and my daughter saw a seal playing in the water at the beach.
