The views from the hotel were amazing. I had the fish and chips for my evening meal it was very good. The staff were friendly.There was no heating in our room when we arrived .We had to turn on the radiator ourselves The room itself was very clean and comfortable. .I was very pleased with the choice on the breakfast menu. There was a shortage of staff serving breakfast which meant my breakfast arrived cold .The girl serving breakfast was very polite and good at her job . She did her best to serve everyone.
