Excellent Stay with Fine Views

double aspecthigh standardfantastic staffbeach towels
The room had double aspect sea views which I found great. The bed was large. The room was appointed to a high standard. The dining in the restaurant was superb, and the staff were fantastic. I also appreciated that the room included beach towels.
The check-in felt slightly reserved. I felt more like a nuisance than a welcome guest.

The room had a coffee machine I found that very convenient. There was fresh milk in the fridge and that was a nice touch. The WiFi signal was strong so I could easily browse.
The room faced the courtyard and it was noisy. I could hear conversations from the pub until late at night. The car park was a ten minute walk away it was often full.
