The room was clean and welcoming and had excellent sea views. The receptionist who booked me in I felt like she couldn't be bothered, she gave me a form and asked me to put a context address on it and put my signature in a couple of places, while I was doing Thet she was stood tapping her nails on the reception counter and sighing, I found it uncomfortable, other staff thet I met seemed friendly and polite.

The rooms are huge! And as always spotless clean and well equipped. Only grumble was i paid extra for a sea view however while i could see the sea from the windows they were basically at head height so i had to stand to see anything which i feel is a bit misleading

Would have liked a sea view but as I spent much time outside as possible, it was not missed a lot ! I think I misunderstood arrangements for breakfast,( I was a room only booking) I thought I could go to restaurant and pay for a meal, there and then but not so? Really nothing to to complain about! I enjoyed my short stay and hope to return before too long. Any Staff I met ( with one exception) were cheerful and helpful! Thank You Folks!
