The hotel is in a lovely position by the sea. It is very quiet and the twin room was big. The beds are very very comfortable and we both had a good night's sleep. There was a wide range of hot food to order for breakfast as well as cereal, toast and fruit. We'd definitely stay here again.

Made to feel that we didn't 'fit' by the approach of one of the breakfast staff. Uncomfortable with seating placement at breakfast. Questioned by a fellow resident if we had a room there, then proceeded to walk to our door and watch as we used the key and the door opened. Was my birthday weekend, the picture of the room on the site looked a dream, yet in reality I regret the choice to book at Botany Bay. Having said that, the receptionist on arrival was very welcoming.
