Dave gave me a warm welcome upon arrival. The Family Room Sea View was spacious and very clean. The bed was VERY comfortable. I had a fabulous sea view from the room, a real treat to wake up to!!!

The wash basin tap had high pressure. On my first use, I was a bit soaked. It needs some adjustment to prevent splashing.
