Quaint with great service
The property is rather quaint, but the service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Some areas are pretty dated, but it kind of adds to the charm of the place. An extremely good and friendly atmosphere with lots of repeat visitors. Short, easy walk to a lovely long beach.

Iconic old Hotel in great location. Staff helpful and food good. Place just needs huge refurbishment. For example had to use towels to dry condensation from window sills inside each morning as old metal windows.

Loved the quirkiness and history associated with this hotel. It is a fabulous location and swimming in the (heated) outdoor pool before breakfast was such a treat. Great breakfast too! The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a shame that the owners are allowing the fabric of the property to deteriorate as they want to knock it down and build something huge and modern. I think the main building should be listed and hope to return to this lovely spot before the developers get their way.
