The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful. We had such an amazing stay for my partners 30th. The food was lovely (was expensive though) but overall was so lovely. The staff were all very friendly and was a great wee stay for our wee dog as he got breakfast in the morning in the hotel. The only downside was that there was a wedding on the day we checked out. Check out time was listed as 11am on their website and in the room, however, we were rushed out of the room at 8:30am this morning so they could clean it for the wedding guests arriving. We only had about 15 minutes to pack all of our stuff and leave the hotel. I would stay here again though apart from that

The hotel is well located for lovely local towns, as well as being right on the beach for nice views and / or walks. The room was extremely spacious and well equipped, and breakfast was very nice - my only complaint would be that it would be ideal to be served a bit later for those travelling for leisure (who like a long lie!). I had an amazing massage at the spa and was lucky with a warm sunny day (in April!), meaning I felt like I was abroad as I sat in the spa pool / sun lounger awaiting my treatment. Free car parking is a bonus. Not cheap but definitely worth it!

The property far surpassed our expectations. I wouldn't have changed a thing which my husband says is high praise indeed. It was pet friendly, relaxing and just what was needed. I loved that the spa products were used in hotel and you could purchase also. I tried them and they were an amazing treat. We also visited the spa and used the thermal suite ...excellent.
Stunning sunset from beach accessed from the restaurant... so wonderfully set out.
