solid stay near the sea
cute staffprofessional staffclean roomamazing sea view
the staff was very cute and professional. the room was large, a clean double with a balcony and a sea view (it was amazing!). the guest bar opened at 5 pm after a public bar and costa coffee closed, both areas were lovely. i paid £10 a day for parking and it was limited, otherwise, it is on-street parking.
the evening meal was badly organised. tables were allocated on entry and considerable queues formed in corridors before the dining room opened. there was only one chef serving the main courses, and lengthy queues formed around the dining room.
