Reviews and Ratings
The chalet cottage was a lovely and comfortable stay with ample space for a family of six. The location was great, just a short walk to the village and a few minutes through the dunes to reach the beach. The service was excellent, with pleasant staff and easy booking for pool sessions. However, the dining experience was not the best, with buffet-style food at a high price point.
The hotel rooms were perfectly designed to make us feel at home yet somewhere different, with a putting green view. Though I had to spend some time cleaning myself, it was worth it to get what we paid for. The service was very helpful and polite, especially to welcome our dog. However, the Day Manager seemed nervous, notably in the restaurant. The location behind the sand dunes in easy walking distance of the village center was lovely and well-kept, adjacent to the beach, making it super for kids. Dining seemed a bit expensive, especially for those not into a full English breakfast, with some missing options like fancy coffee. The facilities were adequate for our needs.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a kitchen and immaculate views of the sand dunes, although they could have been warmer and free of smoke odors. The service was excellent overall, but there were some issues with late-night service availability. Its proximity to the beach and scenic beauty make the location perfect, with easy access to the dunes and the communal areas. The dining experience was enjoyable, although lacking in vegetarian options. Facilities are modern and well-maintained.
