Really good Stay

magical locationattentive staffexpensive drinks
The location was magical. Comfort and style were superb. The food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the fresh, locally sourced dinner options. The staff were really good. They couldn't do enough to help.
I found the cost of drinks to be somewhat expensive. I think including service charge in the price would be better.

Mixed Experience at Seaside Hotel

missing towelsdripping shower
The hotel is in a great location. I encountered a few issues that detracted from my stay. There were no towels in the room upon my arrival. I found this surprising for the price. The shower also dripped constantly. I could not turn it off completely. These issues were disappointing.

A Few Minor Issues

friendly staffhelpful stafflittle touchmouldy blinddirty plugbland food
The hotel is located in a beautiful area. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They were very attentive. My room had lovely little touches. I appreciated the location, the staff and the little extras.
The room did not feel superior to me. There was mould on the blind, and also on the lampshade. I noticed a dirty plug surround in the bathroom. The evening meal was expensive. The food was bland.
