Balanced Stay Experience

superb locationsea viewinedible foodrock hard haddock
The location is superb. The sea view from the room was very nice. It was really enjoyable to see the olde world ambience of the place.
The food let the experience down. The chicken kiev was inedible, and the battered haddock was rock hard. The burger was just okay! Breakfasts at the hotel were just okay too.
