we were in a room just off the main inn & we thought it was just newly renovated & to our surprise found out the renos were years old. A GREAT location, welcoming staff & awesome food,, only complaint would be Storm Amy, with here 80 - 100mph winds, which apparently staff have no control over - HAHA

We received an upgrade to the seafront apartment which was amazing - fantastic accommodation complete with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The proximity to the beach for all the accommodation was brilliant though.
