United Kingdom, December 2024

7.8/10

I had a lovely experience at this hotel, located in a peaceful area with stunning harbor views. The room was spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed the variety of nearby dining options, but the dining service could have been improved during my visit. The pool areas were nice for relaxation, and the parking fee felt a bit unnecessary, but overall, it was a great stay.
