weekend escape by the sea

extra toucheshelpful staffoverhead light
I enjoyed the little extras on arrival including a glass of fizz. i also appreciated having an ipad in the room. It contained useful information about both the hotel and the surrounding area. breakfast was wonderful and offered so much choice. the staff were particularly cute and helpful making it a nice trip.
the overhead light in the lounge felt too harsh. i found the manager inflexible regarding this simple request. this small disagreement affected my overall stay somewhat.
Dining

Breakfast included a variety of options prepared by a chef in an open kitchen. Eggs florentine was a highlight. pre-breakfast orange juice and a croissant were thoughtfully provided each morning which i really enjoyed and added a special touch to the start of the day.
