Great hotel

Great hotel, loved the staff in the restaurant (breakfast & dinner). Great location too, on the beach and, importantly for us, right next to the railway station. Our only suggestion is that the reception staff would do well to be warmer and more accommodating.

Gorgeous spot and perfect hotel

Absolutely loved my stay here, so much so that I’m planning on a return trip next month. I usually hate business trips but in this case I enjoyed my time away from home. Food was delicious and I loved watched the sea while I ate my meals. Room was cosy and immaculate. Special thank you to Housekeeping for everything they did!
