Excellent stay with great features

breakfast selection room views
The breakfast selection was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the views from my room. Staff members were professional and friendly (especially Alan and Mary). I would definitely return for another stay.

lovely view friendly staff attentive staff inconvenient car park uncomfortable mattress small room
Our "signature double room" had such a lovely view, a complete delight! the breakfast the next morning was so plentiful, i was like a queen. the staff members were also so friendly to our needs. They provided excellent service.
I found the entrance to the car park to be obstructed by several cars on our first night. This was a bit inconvenient. the mattress was a little uncomfortable, i was like i was being pitched to the sides. the room felt a bit small, with only a rack for hanging clothes.

The breakfast had a great selection. A doggy bag and treats was a sweet surprise! The hotel enjoys a lovely location close to coastal trails. I had a great stay, charmed by the area. The hotel also provided convenient parking.
The bar pricing was inconsistent. I was charged varying amounts for the same drinks on separate occasions.
