Nich United Kingdom

Because of the corono virus there was a one way system in the bar/dining room. the bar was used as a breakfast room and the staff served you at your table. The tables were apart and all the staff wore face shields or masks. Everything was well laid out. Very good location over looking the sea. Have stayed here many times...

Mary United Kingdom

Because of the coronia virus it was a one way system in the bar with tables two meters apart you can book a table in advance. there is an outside space to. with tables two meters apart. It was not very busy in the bar. The breakfast room was closed as it was a self service, instead you had breakfast served in the bar with a waitress service. the breakfast was very good with a lot of choice. The bedrooms are cleaned before you arrive. No one comes into your room unless you ask them for something. Have stayed there many times. as it is in a good location. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Hotel and staff all very well equipped to deal with the new restrictions. Rooms very clean.
