Des and Linda make this hotel. They are so friendly and make you feel at home straight away. They are the perfect hosts. We stayed for 3 nights and wished it was longer. The room we stayed in was really spacious and spotless with everything you needed for your stay. The breakfast Linda cooks is to die for and such a great choice to choose from including a self service buffet area. The hotel is central for the beach and the town. With the lift to the beach nearby for easy access. Cant wait to book for next year.

We stayed here for 2 nights, taking up 3 of the rooms. The rooms were lovely and clean, the location was fantastic and the hosts were incredible. The hotels amenities include an outdoor pool and sun loungers as well as an infrared sauna! The two owners of the hotel work so hard and were always available at reception or in the bar. The breakfast is an absolute must have (includes a buffet as well as your choice of cooked breakfast). We had a lovely stay and are planning on making it a yearly family get together!

A beautiful hotel with sea-views and lovely, spacious, warm bedrooms. It boasts a downstairs bar, free beverages and parlour games in the lounge and free internet facilities next to reception. My photo shows room 15 as we found it in February 2011. The food is delicious, a perfect home-cooked breakfast with an excellent choice and all the trimmings. Substantial evening meals are served at the well-stocked bar, should you decide not to go out to the one of the many nearby restaurants. There is a swimming pool in the peaceful gardens; look out for the red squirrels in the garden as you eat
