A lovely, well positioned hotel close to the sea-front and other amenities. Our room was well decorated and lovely and clean. We had an ensuite with shower and toilet. Ray and Paula were excellent hosts and went the extra mile to may sure everyone was well looked after. Breakfasts were excellent, hot, tasty and freshly cooked. Many of the hotel guests were returning customers so that should give an indication of how nice the hotel and hosts are. Highly recommended.

Paula, Ray and team are amazing hosts. Very kind, friendly and welcoming. This was our 2nd stay and they did not disappoint. Room was perfect, food was amazing and they even spent a night teaching me and my son (14) to play some new more complicated board games which was a lot of fun. The only bad side is having to leave. We will miss you, but promise to return as soon as possible and for a longer stay. Thank you all for everything, see you soon. Xx
