The shuttle to the hotel was a great perk and breakfast was included. The location was great, right by those buses that look like the old miners buses from the pit strike, and restaurants in the town.

Extremely helpful staff, stunningly beautiful views over the sea, everything is really good. The property's location is perfect and exceptionally nice, close to the airport and beach, a wonderful island and the main restaurant from a previous stay. The hotel is located around 4-6 minutes away by foot from all places I like, for example a victorian museum. The à la carte restaurant for breakfast or dinner is what you need.
