This was my second time staying at Drakes for my partners birthday. The staff were welcoming, the bed was cosy and we had a wonderful view of the sea. The bathtub in the window is such a lovely feature! The noise from the traffic woke us up in the morning as it's a busy seafront road outside, but the rest of the experience outweighed that.
