A comfortable and spotlessly clean room. The bedrooms are a little dated but the cleanliness and comfort made up for this. The breakfast was lovely tasty and hot. The location is amazing. Only 2 mins to the beach and 10 mins to the town. It also offers free parking. The bar is well stocked and great service.

Tracy the manager of the hotel has charged an additional £50 charge as they say we smoked in the room. Seen as we dont smoke i think this is ridiculous.
