lovely hotel stay

great locationconvenient parkingample storageorganised space
The location was great. It was near shops, the theatre, and the beach. the covered parking area was good, and i could park there early on the day of arrival. i found a large cupboard space in the room with plenty of coat hangers. It helped keep everything organised.
during my stay, the only minor inconvenience was that the restaurant food was slightly expensive, so i decided to explore other dining options nearby.

I enjoyed the breakfast. The service included a good variety. Staff were friendly and worked hard. I also recommend afternoon tea. A savory option was available. Latte coffee came with a mini ice cream cone. I enjoyed it in comfortable seating.
The plates at breakfast were very big. This left little space on the table. The teapots took a lot of room.
