Satisfactory Coastal Stay
new bar areaquality selectionsea viewshelpful staff
The newly updated bar area offered a quality selection of drinks. I plan to try the restaurant during my next visit. It was quite busy. The location offers sea views (a real treat). The staff were both pleasant and helpful .
My room was not one of the refurbished rooms, so it was a bit dated.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment to a high standard. The main reception area was being repainted . This was managed effectively and did not disrupt my stay.
Location
10/10
The hotel is in a prime location for visiting the area. The town center is only a ten-minute walk away (though it's uphill on the return). There is guest parking available at the back of the building.
