No Wi-Fi in bedrooms but there was WiFi in the bar and reception area.. if you were staying here ask for a sea view room as the view over the golf course is a bit dismal. There... More

Lovely location up on the hill overlooking the sea. Great walks starting at the doorstep. This is an old hotel preserving the original style throughout. it is for people who want to reminisce and remember the good old days.Remember when designers were not afraid of colour and flowers and shapes. Some great examples here like the dining room which has... More
