Beautiful sea view room. The only downside to this hotel was that it has low water pressure in the shower and no drinking water in the room and had to go to the bar if you wanted any.

We booked the budget rooms which were surprisingly spacious. The conservatory has lovely views of the water and it’s very easy to walk to the sea. We would return.
