This hotel is in a great location with wonderful views. It is family owned and has a warm and friendly ambience. The facilities are good overall, although some aspects are a little tired. The pool is pleasant. Breakfasts are excellent, and we also enjoyed the food from the bar menu. Staff are mist helpful.

Hi we had the most wonderful relaxing overnight stay; unfortunately it wasn’t long enough!!! The bed was so comfy and the corridor was really quiet which resulted in a lovely peaceful sleep!!! We will definitely return.
