I stayed here in June, 2012 - arriving when they first opened for the summer. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful (when I needed an alarm clock someone brought one from home).

I stopped here as part of a group trip. The hotel rooms are very basic, essentially student accommodation rooms. The shared facilities were functional but that is probably all that can be said for them. Breakfast was excellent though and there is free wi-fi in the communal areas.
