superb locationcomfortable loungegood breakfast
The location provides superb sea views from my room and the restaurant, it really is special. the lounge offered comfortable seating and a good bar. breakfast was very good. Nothing was too much trouble!
I found a slight musty smell and an untidy entrance hall gave a poor first impression.

I enjoyed the five course meal. It was amazing. the staff was helpful and couldn't do enough. the location was fine. It offered the most beautiful sunsets.
Some areas had a mustiness. The building showed general tiredness. the entrance felt disappointing given the room rate for example. i think the hotel would benefit from freshening up.
