Decided to spend the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. What a great choice in selecting the Camelia. From the moment of entering the property you were made to feel welcome and an ease of check in and shown to room. We were in room 19 which is on the ground floor at the back of the property overlooking a lovely little courtyard. Spacious double room, spotlessly clean and a great overhead shower. Great breakfast and agin the staff were immaculate in presentation and service. Would highly recommend

Good Overnight Stay

We were pleased with this hotel. We arrived about 2.30pm for an overnight stay and breakfast the following morning. Our room was clean, and reasonably spacious. The bathroom was very good with a great overhead rain shower and tub. The bed was reasonably comfortable and extra pillows were available.The room was at the back of the hotel and quiet at night as away from the road though without the sea view. Breakfast was mixed - the dining area was nice but my wife had to ask for her poached egg to be recooked as it was overdone and my toast was forgotten. The quality of the breakfast ingredients was okay but not high end. We felt overall the price was fair for what we received. There is a free public car park behind the hotel but it does fill up when people are going to the beach. There is also nearby free street parking.

Nice, but cold !

I stayed at this little hotel a few years ago for work, thats why I returned. The staff are still lovely and friendly and the room spotlessly clean. Bar and outside seating area great too. My room was freezing cold though and the double glazed window faulty, so it was draughty too. I sat in my room with a dressing gown over my clothes and bed socks on. I did say when i checked out - and the receptionist said if i had phoned down they would have put some heating on for me. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the room saying that ! The heating was already on in the bar and restaurant though so they must have realised what a cold BH it was ! I dont like complaining.
