Great Service - Fab Location
Check in was quick and easy. Room was sooooo hot due to all glass fronted room which had been in direct sunlight all day with the curtains open. Asked for another room which was provided without fuss.
5 min walk (max) to beach & bars, harbour & marina about 10 mins away.

Reasonable stay. Big, clean room, a little bit of a strange smell. Staff friendly. Disappointed that it cost to use the pool, did not see this on hotel details. Also stated that breakfast was included, but was quite prescriptive - 5 options and had to choose one. Would have preferred more flexibility. Lovely views. Room quiet and dark at night.

Stayed for 3 nights. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good and what topped it up was the view whilst eating overlooking the sea.
Room was quiet and comfortable.
I would definitely stay again if I was in the area and I would recommend this hotel

Lovely view, meals were good but like many old English properties getting up the stairs with large suit cases was a struggle (we are a bit older & travelling from Australia). Really loved it, the staff were friendly & helpful. Convenient to beach & Torre Abbey.

Ok just for a night while working in the area
Had to pay over £20 for parking our vans in car park as no room outside hotel, place was very tired smells a bit stale, staff were great, food was good, dog in room above me was barking late night, blokes shouting and arguing in corridor’s at 1am.
Drunks in bar very loud, avoid if you are travelling with children.

Really cute place, nice staff, could have been cleaner. Sheets were clean, but if you look with close eye, teapot could have used a wash, corners and nooks and crannies not sparkling. I would stay there again. Loved the view and the bed was comfortable.
