"The parking area was small, but did manage to find a space. Great for location. Near to the beach and bars/restaurants. Hotel lovely and clean. Very nice staff. Beds absolutely fabulous! So comfortable. Shower disappointing. Just a shower tray and slow flow water. Did the job though. Lovely breakfast. Would stay again. Thanks."

8/10 Good
"Great location, nice spa & breakfast, lots of info prior to arrival just not told we needed a physical card for the £20 room deposit which then amounted to £150 if you don’t have a card present even though everything else doesn’t need one…not super happy but didn’t have a choice! Robe & slipper hire charge £15 is excessive in my opinion too!"
