A lot of hall noise. Skylight kept room bright even at night. Photographs in website were significantly better that the actual hotel.

Staff were so lovely, particularly the young girl who helped us arrange an early morning taxi for the airport when we’d stupidly not thought to do it sooner. Location is great. It’s really clean. We were able to check in early. Ticked all the boxes.

Beautiful setting. Seaview room was lovely, comfortable, with all the amenities it listed as features. Be careful of the electric kettles though, steam escapes at the handle when you go to pick it up!!
