The Hotel location was perfect for us, just across the road from the beach and away from the hustle and bustle. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.

very nice restaurant very nice bar very friendly stuff! Clean and very nice room and bathroom.

I stayed in a single room which had a double bed. The room was small which I knew beforehand but more than adequate for one person. I had a sea view which was not expected but very nice. The room was clean and pleasant to be in.

Breakfast was good. Made A change to get hot toast

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Facilities were excellent. Restaurant was very good, steak was amazing! We had a lovely time at the camellia. Would highly recommend, everyone we met here was so nice and couldn’t do enough for us. Great place to stay . Convenient car park behind the hotel too 👍🏻

Nicely decorated dining/bar area. Lovely room overlooking the sea. Parking out back
