We went to this hotel with the Groupon offer and we thought it was well worth the money. we paid extra for a sea view room and was highly satisfied with it, The food was good and piping hot the staff were really pleasant and polite and we had no complaints at all. The only thing which spoilt it was... More

After 60 years the service was excellent and a big improvement was the addition of the beautiful dining room, with its excellent view over the Harbour and also the addition of... More
