Very clean, near beach and harbour. We had a compact room, bathroom was too small really. Only 13 car spaces for a 21 room hotel. Breakfast was OK, cereal, fruit, cooked breakfast with toast, tea & coffee in with price. Pool was cold, did not use hot tub. No evening restaurant and did not except takeaway being eaten in outside area! Book local Restuarants in advance as really busy, for 2 evenings we ate on benches from take aways!
