This is an excellent hotel in our opinion. We spent two nights there and really, the only thing we could pick fault with was some of the door hinges need a drop of oil!
Useful things to note:
There is a lift but be careful as for some of the rooms you exit the lift and have to go down six stairs and up six stairs!
There’s a car park at the back with around 17 spaces. Parking outside the front is plentiful and charges apply between 10am and 4pm, otherwise free.
Breakfast is in two sittings, 7.45 – 8.45 and (I think) 8.45 – 9.45, this may have been 9.00 – 10.00, we used the earlier one which was fairly quiet. Breakfast is cooked fresh and was one of the best ever, very tasty and hot.
Evening meals had to be booked before 3.30pm and were served from 5.30-6.30pm, too early for us so we didn’t try them.
There’s a small bar, open from 5.30 – 11.30 and drinks can be taken to your room or to the lounge. There are two lounges but one was closed, or there are tables and chairs in the bar area.
Outside at the front are tables and chairs, likewise outside the back which has a partly covered area (for smokers?) along with a water feature, very nice.
If leaving the hotel on foot through the back, M&S and a whole load of other shops are about a two minute walk.
Our room (11) was spacious with stunning views of the whole bay. The en-suite had an electric shower over a bath, all worked fine. The usual tea, coffee and hot choc in the room with biscuits. No noise from other rooms at all. Sleep to the sound of the waves.
The whole place was immaculate and the staff very friendly (especially the very entertaining Rob from Glasgow!) and helpful.
