We really enjoyed our stay at Applewood Hotel. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the beach (6 minutes walk) and the Town Centre shops (5 minutes). Free parking onsite was an added bonus. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The receptionist was very helpful and always had a smile! Thank you for a great couple of days. I would definitely recommend Applewood and will stay again in the future.
