The hotel itself is pleasant, good views from sea facing rooms and a good breakfast although lacking in fresh fruit. Our room was very small but adequate. The hotel could do with updating as it looked worn in parts

There were hairs in the bath and lack of sufficient tea, coffee and milk in the room. My husband couldn’t have a shower as he couldn’t get the thing working. Cooked Breakfast wasn’t very warm either.
