The location was perfect, in walking distance from the seafront and promenade. A beautiful building and the grounds are kept immaculately. The interior is very lovely as well. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially the gentleman helping with the parking. As promised an electric point had been reserved for our use. Both the dinner and breakfast was tasty!
