Very close to the beach with great sea views. Unfortunately the lift was not working and the hotel was waiting to have the lift repaired, the hotel was very apologetic and this was understandably out of their control.

Rooms tired, stained and mouldy ceiling (Room 202). Hot water took ages to arrive at basin. Room seemed damp and fusty. Room next door had visitors every 20 minutes during the night. Works going on at adjacent property in the night using sanding machines intermittently.
