On arrival we were met and were helped to carry our luggage from the car to our room. This is not a modern hotel - presumably 'stranded on the beach' was expecting something more modern - but his or her description of a 'horrible, dirty, squalid little B&B' could not have been further from the truth. We had no concerns... More
