Fantastic location right on the beach with lovely view of the ocean. Room was lovely and clean, large bathroom space. Loved the sofa area in front of the fire. Bed overlooked the amazing view. Amenities were good, some complimentary soft drinks and snacks, kettle, coffee and tea. We ate at Salt for breakfast and once for dinner. Food was ok but had to send one dinner back as it was cold. The staff were mainly lovely friendly and attentive with one minor lapse trying to get a drink at the bar. Overall an enjoyable stay.
