A lovely Escape by the Sea

I especially enjoyed the spacious superior double room with its lovely sea view! The bed was comfortable. I slept soundly each night. I found the breakfast to be very nice with a good variety of options. The polite staff was always ready to assist with a smile.

The exterior of the hotel looked a bit shabby, showing some signs of needing a little maintenance. That was really the only thing.

The room was spacious, like a super king. It had two big single beds put together, perfect for us. One side of the windows faced the beach. I chose to not have housekeepers, as I had everything with me.

The hotel itself requires updating. I noticed dated furniture in the room I stayed in, and it all had chips and scratches. The windows need replacing as the seals are compromised with condensation between the double glazing.
