Perfectly situated for both the town and the beach. Clean, comfortable room. There was great speed and efficiency at breakfast and dinner - well-staffed so no waiting. Had a quiz one evening and great musical entertainment on another.

The hotel has a fantastic location and very convenient for lots of small independent shops. The hotel advertises as pet friendly. I had a dog travelling with me and she was only allowed in the bedroom and none of the public places. Overall it was a very good place for a weekend trip.
