fantastic stay by the sea!

great location clean hotel

The staff, room, and hotel exceeded my expectations. i loved the location. I literally couldn't get closer to the sea without being in it so it was beautiful to wake up to every morning. such a clean, friendly, relaxed hotel. It made my holiday great. i will stay at this hotel again.

the breakfast juice was a bit too chemical for my liking, though there were many options. it would be better if it tasted more natural.

Charming Stay with Excellent Service!

spacious room modern room takeaway breakfast

The room was quite spacious and modern. The breakfast and dinner were AMAZING!!! I especially appreciated that the staff offered a take-away breakfast when they realized I had an early departure. Staff members were very friendly and helpful.

The corridors felt a bit outdated. The bathrooms could use some updating. The flooring could also be refreshed.

The hotel has two large buildings. One building is right on the beach. The other building sits back about 500 yards from the shore. There is also on-site parking available for hire cars.
