“Lovely hotel, highly recommended”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

We've just returned from a week at Waves and loved it. We're normally quite exacting and expect high standards; Waves more than lived up to the promises. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Our room was lovely and very spacious. We made full use of the water sports; the facilities were great, the instructors were friendly and...
