negative comments toilet system made such a noise it was deafening so did not flush at night so's not to wake the near guests. the room smelt of stale cigaretts which was overpowering to say the least to a non smoker.

The Hotel is within walking distance of the sea front with plenty of retaurants and ammenities near by. Though it is situated on a main road, this proved no problem in terms noise; indeed it was a positive advantage when trying to find the hotel.The only thing that might prove difficult in high season is the apparent small amount of parking available.I did not discuss this with the owners; they may have other arrangements. Other than this, I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel. (2920232)

positive comments Very clean and well kept. Very friendly staff.
negative comments None really. Everything was fine

Steven from Bristol, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 25 August 2005

We were welcomed by the owner who was very helpful and arranged for a car parking space behind the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable. However the twin room was a bit on the small side. The single rooms were fine. The breakfast was served promptly and there was plenty of choice. The 8:00 to 9:00 time for breakfast could have been stretched to 9:30 or 10:00 to allow more choice for the guests. (2569968)

positive comments It was centrally located, the owners were very friendly and the breakfast was fantastic.
negative comments Could do with a Bar.
