Only spent one night here and unfortunately the hotel had booked a birthday party (people screaming around the corridors) so not the best experience, the staff were awesome and very accommodating, just an unfortunate booking on my part, would definitely try again in the future, and a lovely little beach just beyond the car park.

Couldn't sleep, loud as there are many pub nearby. Walls are thin so you can hear things. They have breakfast self serve. They got a green parrot by the front desk. It bites a lot
Edit:
The owner has misinterpreted my cheeky review regarding the parrot. thus I apologize on my behalf, what I was trying to convey:
The parrot by the reception is adorable but be warned as it does like to bite. There is a sign saying a warning that it bites so I would not suggest letting kids near it.
