BOOK YOUR ROOM

Wonderful hotel

Our family stayed at The Carlton for a weekend break. We went to a wedding at Tunnel Beaches and chose this hotel as it was very close to it. Tunnel Beaches is literally a 2 minute walk away. The hotel is excellent in every way. It is very well run by Michael and his team, it’s clean and modern. The food in the restaurant is really good, we ate breakfast lunch and dinner here, all the food was excellent. Thank you Michael and your lovely team, keep up the good work.
