Overview The sea-facing patio is perfect for whiling away a weekend over a few pints if you’re lucky enough to be here when it’s sunny. If, as is more likely, the weather’s a little rougher, take a seat at the bar or restaurant inside instead – both are spacious and relaxed. Service is friendly and easygoing, with staff only too happy to have a chat.

Wow factor The full Welsh breakfast served in the morning is a colossal, artery-clogging delight. Portions are so big you’ll probably have to go back to your room for a nap once you’ve finished it.

Rooms Basic but comfortable, with enormous, soft beds.

Bill please Standard singles from £75pn, including breakfast. Quote reference TNT/ATL#1 for the Booze & Snooze by the Sea offer: two people, one night, a bottle of wine and a three-course dinner for £125.
