"We had a room overlooking the sea, but there was only one chair to sit on to have a cup of tea sitting by the window. The door was very strong and was difficult to get the wheelchair in. A hook to hold it back would be useful. The breakfast was excellent. You are quite a way away from the town, but buses are frequent. Dinner is quite expensive in the dining room. Fabric napkins would be nice in the evenings. Staff are all very well trained"

I am a light sleeper I did hear my neighbour coughing in the morning but it wasnt to early. The Bistro/Bar located next to the hotel was very nice, I didnt eat in the evening bit it was very popular with locals and travellers. The breakfast the next day was exceptional!!!!
