not quite what i'd hoped

good locationno food

the location was good. it was a short walk to the seafront.

there was no food available. the kitchen was closed and they didn't offer any real compensation, only fruit, i think. i felt disappointed.

the hotel includes a nice outside space, offering places to sit and relax and a bar if you wanted a drink in the evening. car parking is available, and it is located right by the beach and opposite a heritage railway.

breakfast was excellent (especially the selection of fresh pastries!), and there was an evening menu in the bar or restaurant if you wished to dine there. the food was beautifully cooked and reasonably priced.
