The staff on check-in were very helpful and friendly. Parking was convenient. Our room 204 was large and very comfortable and warm with a fabulous view over the beach and Abbey. Nice breakfast room with an excellent variety and choice of food. Excellent position for reaching town easily. Really enjoyed our short stay.
