Pretty much what I expected: substantial hotel, reasonably priced. Lots of bangers, fruit, boiled eggs, pastries and cheese at breakfast. Marvellous view, a nice balcony, great bed, too. Swimming pool was excellent too. Besides, parking was available nearby. Walking distance to the magnificent beach.

I had a fab experience. Fairly clean, decent food and modern staff. The location was friendly and best possible. I appreciated that bus station Foulstep crossroads was easily accessible, it was not too far from the hotel. Complementary drinks and omelette and yoghourt.

I liked the historic-style building, good value for money room. And it also had SCENIC view. Nice rural location to rothay park. A first-class service and satisfactory breakfast.

The location was perfect, breakfast was good! One of the dining options, the talbot bar, was 10 mins walk away. We were able to park onsite.
