In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Rooftop pool with sea views — The outdoor pool sits on the rooftop, and some rooms overlook the sea, giving the property a resort feel close to the coast.
- Small, personal scale — With only 11 rooms, the hotel offers a quieter, more intimate setting than larger properties.
- Well-equipped rooms — Each room includes a mini-bar, sitting area, tea and coffee facilities, free toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV.
- Close to golf and coast — Beachwood Golf Club is within a 20-minute walk, and the sea is visible from the hotel, so you can be out on the course or the beach quickly.
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, so plan your arrival carefully — a late flight could mean you miss the window.
- No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a pet, you’ll need to look elsewhere, as this hotel doesn’t accept them.
- Small number of rooms — With just 11 rooms, availability can be tight, and there’s less choice in terms of room types.
- Higher price point — At £724 per night, the hotel sits at a premium price for the area, which may not suit every budget.
