The staff was helpful, and the breakfast had a good selection. the room was clean upon arrival. i particularly enjoyed the sea view from the room. It enhanced my visit.
The bar was closed because of a bereavement. This was not communicated prior to my arrival. this closure limited evening relaxation options within the hotel.

location GOOD, but some ISSUES

undercooked baconminimal supplies
The breakfast WAS mediocre. The bacon was undercooked, and the mushrooms were not good. Our room also lacked some expected amenities. There was NO hairdryer. The tea and coffee supplies were minimal, I found the value for money to be quite poor.
