Room was fine, radiator not working in the bathroom, reported and it was sorted, but didn’t work the next day?? Carpet worn and dated. Breakfast menu choice good, fresh fruit bowl not good! Breakfast lady very nice. Breakfast room cold. Receptionist friendly on checkin, but people don’t like to be called ‘my lovely’. A hello or good morning would also be nice when going through reception.

All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spotless and cleaned every day, including fresh bed linen. The food was delicious. We had a large room with a sea view, which was wonderful to wake up to.
