"Our overall impression of this hotel is poor. On the positive side, the location is excellent and very convenient for getting around. Breakfast is acceptable, with a reasonable selection, and the staff in the breakfast area are friendly and welcoming. However, the overall condition of the hotel feels tired and in need of investment. While reception staff are polite at check-in, there is limited engagement beyond that. The room doesn’t quite match expectations from the advertised photos, particularly those showing sea views. Our window has metal screws in the frame to prevent it from opening too far, the curtains are noticeably sun bleached, and there are maintenance issues such as a leaking bath and damaged plaster. We also suspect the room may previously have accommodated pets, as my husband, who has mild allergies, experiences some discomfort with his asthma during the stay. When we request an iron and ironing board, these arrive without a cover for the board, so we have to improvise by using a towel. Another point to note is the £10 per day charge for on-site parking, which is limited and feels cheeky given you’re already paying for the room. Overall, you can see that this hotel was likely excellent in its prime and still has potential, but at present it feels like it would benefit from some significant refurbishment."

"Fantastic location, shame we couldn't see the stunning view from our room but oh well. Found the pillows a little thin, but each to their own. Best Cullen skink I've ever tasted! Nice place, we'l go again the net time we're in the area."
