Many rooms are spacious and some offer fabulous sea views, perfect for people-watching, while others noted the comfort of the beds and the quiet atmosphere thanks to well-insulated windows; some guests have observed that the decor is dated in places.

Wonderful Stay in a Sea View Room

good locationfree parkingdated wallpaper
The location is spot on. The crew are lovely and obliging. Their manners are nice. The room had a good sea view.
I did notice that the wallpaper was a bit dated. The furniture looked a little peeling. When I arrived with a coach trip it was very busy and nobody was at reception initially. However the staff were lovely and apologised for the wait.
