“The position is undeniably its strongest asset, placing you right on the seafront with an easy reach to both bays and local attractions, and the sea views from the rooms are quite something. Breakfasts here are clearly a highlight, noted for their quality and choice, with a particular mention for fresh fruit arrangements.

It's a place where the personal touch, combined with a solid location and good food, makes for a very agreeable stay.”
