We booked a double seaview room, it was comfortable but just a little dated. Great view, slightly spoiled by the flat roof. Just needs a bit of a refresh. Lovely big bathroom. Breakfast and dinner were lovely with a great choice….we were half board…..and the staff were fantastic! This was our second stay and we will definitely return.

Best value hotel of our trip and the most comfy huge bed too. Ate at the hotel in the evening and that was tasty and good sized portions and a view of the sea from room and restaurant. The price was so good, they should be charging more, especially for breakfast. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Booked a room for 3 nights and on arrival discovered that we had been allocated a self contained garden flat in the adjoining property. Flat was a great 'upgrade' as we were not looking forward to a hot stuffy hotel room given the sunny weather and temperatures in high 20 c .... Flat was clean and well equipped with kitchen / lounge with access to private garden ..bedroom and shower room....most of all it was nice and cool. Decor is a little tired and could do with a refresh but did not effect an extremely enjoyable stay... Staff in the hotel were exceptionally friendly and helpful whilst the food was very good , reasonably priced and large portions. Overall a great little hotel with on street parking right next to the harbour.

Ideally situated overlooking the harbour, this hotel offers sea views from its' restaurant and some bedrooms. I was, unexpectedly, given a self-catering apartment next door which meant that i had plenty of space with a lounge/kitchen area in addition to the bathroom and bedroom(s). The only problem was that the door into my apartment was really difficult to push open, hand and foot were required. This was certainly because of the heat, but I was surprised that cleaners etc. hadn't noticed and reported this before. I did report it but as I only had a one-night stay it couldn't be rectified during my visit. The food was excellent and the waitresses were good.
