Markel United Kingdom

very bright and nicely done hotel rooms, the staff was very polite and helpful. I especially liked the fact that I was able to work and have calls from my room but also from the cafe area near the library. The breakfast was good and it had loads of options including dairy-free and gluten-free ones. It is very close to a nice walk near the ocean and also a big supermarket.

Paula United Kingdom

We had the Junior Suite which is a great spacious room with a great view/terrace. The breakfast buffet was a good English breakfast. Very welcoming and friendly staff.
