Beach view absolutely beautiful, parking not as bad as people say, providing your car is not big, the hotel provide secure parking behind & there is a huge carpark down the steps to the front. Staff friendly on arrival, accommodated every need. Could do with a fresh lick of paint, but overall fabulous stay, will most likely be back, thank you.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. The property is a little dated and could benefit from some refurbishment, but overall we had a pleasant stay. The only issue we experienced was parking on arrival, as there were no spaces available and we had plans for the day. However, the staff were extremely helpful, took my keys, and arranged to move the car as soon as a space became free. Their professionalism and willingness to help really made a difference.
