A Coastal Gem, Amazing Views and Warm Hospitality
warm welcomelovely viewsecurity peacecreaky floorboard
Daisy greeted us with such a warm welcome, I was immediately at ease. Emily and her team ensured every meal from breakfast to dinner felt special. The views from the restaurant of the coast are lovely. I savored them each morning with my coffee. Allocated parking with security provides good peace of mind for vehicle safekeeping.
The floorboards in the hallways creaked quite a bit, this was noticeable late at night.

The food was amazing, with fresh ingredients, prepared skillfully. It was also delicious. The restaurant offered a wide variety of choices, and the service matched the quality of the plates with attentiveness.

The room was clean upon arrival. The bed was comfortable, I slept soundly each night. The view of the sea from my window was like a painting, always changing, always beautiful.

I stayed in a Signature View Double. The room featured a Nespresso machine with complimentary water provided daily, not just upon arrival. I found the proximity to the train station quite convenient. The sea view, especially from the restaurant, was AMAZING!!!
The hotel was to need some updates.
