Liked: Cleanliness
Enjoyed three night stay. Need some form of hand-grip in the large shower, or a seat. Breakfast could be better— I think staff should bring tea and coffee and toast to the table— quite awkward to fill up a teapot with boiling water. Cutlery missing on laid table every morning.plates cleared away before everyone finished eating.

Had a great couple of days at this hotel. Staff friendly hotel, lovely with great rooms super doggy, friendly and great food. Only pity in the area is the beach adjacent to the hotel is not doggy friendly during the summer. Other than that fantastic couple of days They also run a fshuttle to the Hut restaurant, which is well worth a visit.
