Comfortable Stay

The staff were friendly and helpful . The location of the hotel is quite convenient. My single room was spotlessly clean, a detail I certainly noted. Breakfast featured a good choice of items available from 7am in the large conservatory breakfast room.
I must say, the lighting in the gardens leading to the Louisa Lodge at night was not sufficient. I had to rely on my mobile phone's torch to navigate the path.

The hotel benefits from its central position. It is a short downhill walk to the town and beach. This arrangement allows easy access to local attractions and amenities.

The hotel has a large garden at the rear with a patio. Guests have plenty of parking spaces. This is especially useful if you travel with your own car.

The hotel has a fab location. IT is a couple minutes walk into the town centre. Plenty of space exists in the car park. I found a clean tidy room on the top floor of the Louisa Lodge. The shower was powerful and warm. I got fluffy towels.
