Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Burlington Hotel offers a prime location near the beach, featuring a grand staircase leading to bedrooms. Many guests have enjoyed spacious rooms, some offering lovely sea views, and appreciated the convenience of having a bar on site. The hotel is also dog-friendly, although some guests have mentioned the soundproofing could be improved. Situated a pleasant walk from the harbour and close to the zig zag walk through caves and gardens, it's often considered excellent value, especially the breakfast.
