“There's a particular charm to be found here, perched as it is at the head of the hill overlooking South Bay and the castle. The views alone, especially from sea-view rooms with their French doors opening onto shared balconies, make a compelling case for a stay. It strikes me as a solid choice for those seeking a traditional seaside holiday, with the added convenience of being part of Daish's Holidays.”
