“The clifftop location, with its stunning sea views and direct beach access, certainly stands out; I appreciate the hotel's dog-friendly approach, from dedicated dining areas to select rooms catering to pets. However, a few guests have pointed out potential inconsistencies in room quality relative to price, especially concerning soundproofing and furnishings.”

Wonderful Stay!

friendly staff amazing breakfast dog treats
I found the staff very friendly. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit and yoghurt. The hotel even had a prep area for dogs. There was lots of dog treats available for furry friends.
My room seemed a bit small. The bathroom did appear dated.

The room decor really impressed me (it felt so cute!). Breakfast featured a wide variety of hot options alongside buffet fruit, greek yogurt, cereals, breads, and pastries. I definitely want to return again since the staff are great and it is a great hotel.
