I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Went away for a few days away as an early valentine's getaway. Despite the colder temperature, we both had a great time. The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and the location to the beach was minutes away. The facilities in the hotel were a bonus. I loved the use of the pool at the end of the day

Pleasant but.

Pleasant stay but we stayed in room 6 which has 2 very big sash cord windows which are both draughty and cold you can also hear a lot of road noise ie: delivery trucks and bin wagons with reverse sensor warnings at 7am, so with the weather being rather cold the room was cold even with the heating on.
