Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though a bit too hot upon arrival. The staff members were extremely kind and helpful, especially for offering me a flask of tea for my days out in the cold. The location was perfect for my needs, allowing easy access along the coast and a cozy local pub feel. The dining experience was top-notch, with delicious dishes and lovely porridge. However, it would have been nice to have more varied seasonal options on the menu.
The rooms were a bit small and in need of renovation, but they were quiet and provided a peaceful stay. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff making my experience enjoyable. The location was perfect for exploring the area and offered a delightful sun-filled environment. The dining experience was tailored to my needs, offering a good variety of well-cooked dishes. The facilities were satisfactory, although some areas could use renovation.
The hotel offers modern and comfortable rooms but is in desperate need of renovation. There was an unpleasant smell, although the stay was adequate, it could use some TLC. The service was friendly and accommodating but the location lacked facilities.
