Never in my life had I seen a more luxurious bed in such a generouslysized room.
With pops of bright colour and fun, industrial style touches, the boutique room had a trendy warehouse feel to it.
And the balcony with its sea views is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, (from the in-room Nespresso machine, of course).
The bathroom has a huge walk-in shower, luxury spa products and lovely fluffy robes.
The Chez Mal Brasserie overlooks the sea, so with dim lighting and floor-toceiling windows, it’s the perfect place to enjoy dinner and drinks with a view.
The menu offers French flair (but with generous British portions) and features everything from simple steaks and fish dishes to risottos, pork belly and more.
