Extremely helpful staff who assisted me when I booked for the wrong the date and even put up with the awful AI voice agent that Hotels.com use. Hotel was lovely. The bed was a little short for my 6’3 frame - that’s the only minor gripe. Breakfast was fabulous looking out to sea.

Our room had a stunning sea view if Housel Bay which is itself utterly breathtaking. The reception staff were incredibly welcoming, authentically friendly, and beyond helpful. The cleaning staff did a superb job efficiently and unobtrusively. And the bar and restaurant staff were friendly and efficient and added to the entire dining experience in the beautiful terrace restaurant with it's wonderful food and incredible view!

Jaw dropping setting, tired building, so so room. Crippling understaffing at breakfast time leaves many customers waiting 10 minutes for coffee and over 39 minutes for breakfast. If you are short of staff, consider offering continental only option. Fast, easy.
