decent stay

friendly staff sea scenery mediocre quality oven chip
staff were attentive and FRIENDLY. the hotel has great lounges to watch the beautiful sea scenery outside. I found it a welcome retreat after walking.
i found the food to be mediocre. the chips tasted like oven chips, which wasn't great value since you can get better meals for the same price.
