"Everything was good apart from the service in the restaurant. It was disorganised. Mistakes were made with the booking and bill. We waited for two and a half hours for a main meal and a dessert. Other patrons and I had to approach staff to make our orders."

"For an overnight stay, excellent for the price, parking included. I didn’t have breakfast but it looked acceptable. Tea and coffee provided in the room. A pleasant welcome and I was allowed access to the bedroom early afternoon. The bed and bedding made for a good nights sleep. Superbly placed on the cliff top and walking distance from the town."

"The room we had was nicely decorated with a lovely comfortable big bed and a wonderful seaview. Check in was easy and we were able to buy a parking permit. (As it was a weekend it was initially quite difficult to find a parking space - this was the only drawback) All the staff were polite and friendly particularly the lovely waitress who served us in the restaurant. Good buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. All in all a great experience and would certainly visit again."
