This is a very old hotel and feels like it could do with a bit of modernisation, but this did not affect my stay and I’d come again

10/10

The views across the sea are lovely. It's a busy road at times with and with no air con in the room meant windows had to be open in the summer sun. The hotel provides ear plugs though which are a life saver and made for a good night's sleep! The bar is busy with entertainment until the early evening and the drinks are well priced.
