Dog Friendly Break

Had a 2 night stay with our 2 dogs & dined in the restaraunt both nights. Our spacious room on the 2nd floor was lovely. Cosy bar area & comfortable dog friendly restaurant area. Staff were very welcoming to both us & our dogs. The beach & dunes are a short walk away. Parking could be a problem, spaces for 3 residents cars at the back of hotel, otherwise street parking. Overall an enjoyable stay.
