My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The location is ideal, situated overlooking the north bay and on the seafront. The rooms offer stunning sea views, and while the bed was large, it limited the space to move around. Having a bath in the room was a nice touch. The dining experience was delightful with homemade sausages and sweet biscuits. I found the service to be exceptional. However, the hotel is away from rowdy pubs which some may see as a downside, and down the beach might be a bit secluded for some people.
