The room was clean and everything you needed. View was amazing. Staff were lovely. Had lunch and evening meal and it was exceptional (I recommend the fish and chips). Breakfast was best I have ever come across when staying away. They made my dog welcome even gave her a sausage for breakfast. I will definitely recommend staying there and I will be returning in the future.
