lovely stay with excellent breakfast
quiet location spacious room excellent food helpful staff
i found a downstairs social area quieter than the pub which suited me well. the food selection was great, and everything tasted excellent. my room was spacious, a real plus for a longer stay. it was a little away from the seafront, but the quieter location was a nice surprise.
I did find parking a little difficult. The staff provided a recommendation, though it didn't completely solve the general area challenge
Dining

The restaurant offered a variety of dishes, including a standout sunday lunch. The pork belly had crispy crackling, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. the menu had great selection, with breakfast including many options. I found the quality to be high, and everything was reasonably priced.
Rooms

My beautiful double room side sea view provided plenty of space, and the bed was particularly comfortable for a good night's sleep. the room featured a quirky style, a nice element. Everything was clean and well-kept, contributing to a pleasant stay.
Location

The hotel is located just across from the beach, offering easy access for seaside walks, and the main attractions are within walking distance. while not directly in the city center, the location is convenient. It only takes about 20 minutes to reach the center.

The staff were friendly and helpful, ready to provide recommendations and assistance. one morning, the staff prepared a breakfast bag because i had to leave early. This was really appreciated and a nice touch.
