Wonderful Coastal Retreat
excellent foodspacious barattentive stafflovely view
The food was really excellent. I tried the breakfast buffet and the dishes from the dinner menu (the fish and chips were amazing!). The bar area was spacious. The staff were attentive and accommodating. I had a room with a lovely sea view, even though it was a single room.
The climb to the hotel from the town center was rather hilly (something to consider for those with mobility issues).
Rooms

My room included updated bathroom fixtures. The sea view was expansive, I saw amazing sunrises. The room had fresh linen. The bedroom could benefit from some updates, especially regarding the furniture.
