A most disappointing stat Although the front facing staff were kind and accommodating, there seemed to be a disconnect between them and management. The shower was lovely But The pillows were very uncomfortable There was only tea in the room - no provision for coffee or anything else on either day Very few Power points! The cooked Breakfast was cold and there was not enough milk provided for cereal.

The White Lion is right on the sea front, the staff were excellent, the rooms were cleaned every day and your room extra's topped up. Good shower, comfortable bed, bar and restaurant was very nice too.
