Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a little gold mine, so clean with friendly locals and gorgeous views. The rooms were adequate, but with a few maintenance issues. The staff, especially Lee the barman, Stuart, the chef, and Debra the receptionist, are very friendly and helpful. The dining experience was ideal for early risers with a nice selection. The location is stunning right on the beach, following all safety guidelines diligently.
The hotel offers clean and functional rooms with a large car park, but the location might be a bit quiet depending on the time of year. The service was exceptional, following all safety guidelines diligently. The dining experience was good overall, although some dishes were not up to par. Right by the stunning beach with a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel provides excellent value for money.
Staying at this hotel was such a mixed bag of experiences. The room I had was brightly decorated and clean, which made it comfortable overall. Although, it needed a good scrub to be fully perfect. The service was impressive, especially when the staff at the coffee shop next door helped me with my luggage. The location, right on the beach, offered stunning views but suffered from very poor reception. The dining options were good overall, but some items like the black pudding fell short. Despite some drawbacks, the adherence to safety guidelines made me feel secure during my stay.
