Really good Hospitality and Beautifully Maintained Premises

warm welcomedelicious foodgreat position
The team provided a very warm welcome. The food, at both dinner and breakfast, was plentiful and delicious. I especially liked the recommendation for the cottage pie, it was the best I have tasted. The position of the hotel is great for exploring.
The room lacked a sea view unless I peered around the corner.
Location
9/10
The hotel is centrally located. It features fabulous views from all rooms. It's easy to directly access the water-powered train that leads to the sea. The position is undoubtedly enviable with very nice sea views.

I had several disappointments. I found the room quite small. The breakfast buffet lacked variety. The walls are thin. I could hear noise from other rooms clearly and it was difficult for me to sleep well.
