This was just perfect. Clean, friendly professional staff, great location. It ticked every box. Would definitely recommend and we would definitely come back. Brilliant.
Lovely spacious room with a beautiful view of the bay. Check-in was a delight with the super friendly and helpful lady. The hotel was quiet and very walk able to all activities and dining in the area.
