Sea view of rising sun from family suite

Pros: The location opposite the sea was fantastic, with an amazing view of the rising sun to greet you as you get up (if you time it right). The large family sea-view room given to me for my single occupancy, was a very unexpected and kind upgrade! A lovely breakfast served nice and early too and with attentive care, enabling me to make a right early start to my long day of travel. That suited me perfectly. Good value in a building clearly upgrading gradually. Very convenient parking. The refurbishment had zero impact on the quality of my stay and it was mostly impeccable. Cons: There were no

A fab weekend in a lovely place

Pros: The window from our room gave us the most perfect sunrise view over the sea. The location are perfect! Close to all the local amenities. Cons: This did not spoil our stay but it is clear the renovation work is on going.
