Room was scruffy, with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Bed old and very bumpy. Breakfast good, apart from coffee was lukewarm.
The room was excellent, what a great location with fantastic views, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was amazing and a great choice, fantastic english breakfast too, will deffinately stay again.
I very much enjoyed my two nights in the hotel. Although a little shabby, my room was comfortable and I enjoyed my view. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Wonderful views from the restaurant. Breakfast was good. All staff were excellent, friendly and helpful- a great asset to the hotel.
Some of the public areas were very tired looking, especially the bedroom corridors. The exterior would also benefit from a coat of paint. However, we did enjoy our stay.
