many optionsfriendly stafftidy placestained carpetclosed barbereavement reason
The breakfast had many options. Full english was enough. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The whole place was clean and tidy, a PLUS. Town centre was a short walking distance. This was very convenient.
The carpet in my room WAS disgusting. It was covered in stains, unfortunately. The hotel bar was closed. This happened because of a bereavement.

AMAZING SEAVIEW experience

friendly staffamazing viewscheap faresquiet bar
the staff was super friendly. Breakfast tasted fresh and delicious, served with amazing views of the sea and the harbour entrance. The bus service was right outside, P1 running every half hour and the fares were CHEAP.
i found the bar uncomfortably quiet, it could definitely use a tv, especially when you are sitting with other guests.
