Try BQ Hotel

I spent a week there in August spotting.
Very close to the sea front, within 100 meters.
The hotel is stylish, clean & modern. Our room was on the 5th floor and had great views.
Highly recommend.

Worst piece of electronic kit I ever had

My wife bought me this as a present, guided by my enthusiast brother.
Hated every moment of using it, it died and I was so happy.
