Fantastic Stay!

clean roomspacious roomcentral locationnarrow stairs
The room was clean and spacious, great for our family. Breakfast was delicious. I especially loved the variety. The location is superb, near the beach and all the attractions (I love the proximity!).
The stairs were a bit narrow and tricky to navigate, especially with luggage. It's something to consider with mobility issues or lots of bags.
Dining

The breakfast selection included a wide range of choices. You can choose from cereals, crumpets and a full fried breakfast. Tea, coffee, and fruit juices were available with breakfast, and there were always plenty of options for everyone.
