Good Spot, but Could Be Better

excellent breakfastlovely positionnice viewfriendly staff
I found the breakfast choices excellent with various options. The hotel's position was lovely, with an easy stroll into the town. The view of the coastline from the rear dining area was very nice, I appreciated it. Staff members were friendly, especially at breakfast.
I found the car park a little tight, maybe because residents used the spaces too. It might be a problem during peak seasons, I recommend arriving early. I wish there were more options available late at night.
Rooms

The room had an unnecessarily large wardrobe that took up room space. The bed was a comfortable size for a relaxing sleep. The annex rooms provide a quiet place for resting.
Service

Staff were helpful in providing directions to the town. I left a blouse in the wardrobe and the hotel posted it back. They made an effort to accommodate dietary requirements at breakfast.

The hotel has a garden overlooking the coast, with views towards Sandsend. There is a walking path near the hotel towards the center. I liked the parking, very rare in this area.

Breakfast offered multiple first-class choices, so I was happy. The restaurant catered to gluten intolerance with some options. There is a view from the breakfast room, which makes mornings very nice.
