Disappointing. The spa and changing rooms are very tired and dirty in places. The scum line around the jacuzzi was particularly bad. Food was ok. Staff in the restaurant were lovely. Doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel

Fabulous 3 night break
I çould not fault anything.Stall were welcoming and courteous. The bedrooms and hotel wzs spotlessly clean. There was a wide range of food to choose from at breakfast and extensive menu selection for meals throughout the day. Beautiful views looking out to the atlantic ocean. Theres an onsite spa and pool so something for everyone

The only one thing that was unpleasant was the staff member on our checking in day. She was very off putting which was disappointing but the rest of the staff and facilities were great. .
