Room was clean but basic. Not much to do in the immediate area but handy for the sea. Breakfast was available if a bit ramshackle as not adequately monitored to ensure there was sufficient food. Had to ask for them to replenish coffee and hot food.

Not too bad
Hotel is in a secluded location but is quiet and easy to get to free parking with limited spaces. Lots of activities nearby and places to visit. The hotel exterior looks old but the interior is all modern the room seem to be newly modernised although the beds are are soft and bouncy. Service was ok there is a really cute receptionist. Install a carbon monoxide alarm in there is a kettle in the room with tea and coffee but no biscuits. The shower is a beard too cumbersome to use the water didn't appear to get too hot. Breakfast was a full English but disappointing to see there was no pastries or cakes.
