The rooms were spotless and comfortable. The trouble is the picture is misleading as the dining area with views over the sea has been demolished. Only the building with the accommodation is left which is now managed by the caravan park next door. The Wi-Fi was next to useless.

No room clean and top Up of supplies if stay for more than 1 night, blaming it on covid! Shower head had no flow, husband fixed as was blocked. Car parking narrow and congested. Had to go to office to get further coffee and milk waiting in line while others book in. Noisy, local eating places across the road both closed. Very disappointing

Fantastically located, short walk to the beach and local jetty as well as a free water park for the kids. Neat and tidy room, with the essentials. a great place to stay while in the region. Only downside is the walls are a bit thin and when its fully booked, you can hear the room next door at 3am and 6am when you might rather be sleeping
