"Lovely hotel in a brilliant location."

9.0

The location of the property is fantastic, right on the beach and an easy walk to the town centre. The rooms were very nice and well equipped, though compact and very comfortable. Nice bar and breakfast areas.

I couldn’t figure out the shower (me being dense) and the size of the room made it a little difficult as we had two cases.

Close to the beach, a shame the rooms are at the back.

The bed was not great and room was the smallest and most expensive on our holiday.
