The views from the property and being able to walk across the road for a swim was just sensational. The only downside was it didn't feel that private with the balconies not being fully enclosed. Having said that, I'd be more than happy to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Oceanside. From the friendly welcome at check in, to the tips on what to see and do, we felt right at home. The room was perfect, brilliant location a stones throw from the beach, very clean and modern. Great shower, comfortable beds, modern kitchen facilities. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely seaside hotel. Amazing view. Great hosts. Took their boat trip around the bay and to Catheral Cove. Amazing. Suggested idea for improvement is an upgrade to the bed and pillow.
