Really good stay near the coast

fabulous choicesdaily cleaninggolf course view
The breakfast had fabulous choices, nothing felt too much trouble for the staff. My room was cleaned daily to a high standard. I especially enjoyed the golf course view from the hotel (it made the mornings very calm).
The bar area can get a little crowded during peak hours.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel features a cozy bar area with ample seating and a separate dining area equipped with numerous tables available for meals throughout the day. A beer garden provides a relaxing outdoor space overlooking the golf course.
Location
8/10
The location offers both sea and countryside views away from the busy town center. It's a short drive to the town center and a pleasant walk along the front into the town, about five minutes.

a dream by the sea

coastal viewplentiful breakfastkind staffshort walk
The location was something special. I found myself gazing at the golf course and the coast each morning! the breakfast had so many choices, i was in heaven. i also really appreciated the kind staff. it's about a 20-minute walk into the centre of town, a lovely stroll.
the shower's temperature was a little tricky to get just right, though it was only a minor inconvenience.

The breakfast was good and varied.
The bar closed early at 9:30 pm because it was quiet. I came down from my room for a drink. This was REALLY annoying. I expected later service. The staff didn't seem too concerned about keeping the bar open later. I was disappointed.
