Fantastic Refurbishment
cute staffnice atmosphereconservatory areapoor menu
I found the staff very cute! They were excellent. The atmosphere seemed nice following the recent refurbishment. I liked the bar and conservatory area, tastefully decorated throughout the hotel.
The menu felt poor, and the food quality disappointed me. I ordered chicken schnitzel with a fancy potato dish. Unfortunately, I received burnt chicken on mixed mash and peas, resembling workman's cafe food rather than restaurant fare.

The receptionist was cute and provided helpful hotel information upon arrival. My room had a wonderful sea view. It was very spacious. I especially liked the bright decor and the large shower room. Everything was perfect for my visit.
I noticed the doors were not fitted perfectly, which allowed light from the car park to seep into the room throughout the night.

The location was central. It provided easy access to nearby attractions. The staff were friendly and cute. The views from the dining area were quite nice. Breakfast was very good. It was well cooked and nicely presented.
The room did not have a mini fridge. I also noticed a lack of tissues. The room could have used a few more luxury touches. Fresh milk would have been a welcome addition, maybe some sparkling water on arrival.
