- Water gets dangerously hot, like it will burn you (well over the industry standard 60c) - Not very clean, there is a tray in the room that’s covered in mess, the side of the table is all pulled away. - Not very happy with the condition of the room to the cost. - Toilet seat kept coming off. - When we arrived the manager was telling us when hadn’t paid, when we had..Not the welcoming you want. - Radiator was never on so put towels were still wet and never dry. - Great if you want to be a 2 min walk from the cove, not so great if you want what you’re paying for.

Parking: there is no parking on-site. The Hotel will provide a private Internet Link where you can Register for nearby Parking (100 meters away) at £3 per day. We used this and it was OK. Beaches and other scenic Sites are just a walk-away. Local Buses available for multiple destinations. Local Pub food excellent. We loved our stay.
