Newly refurbished room … good size with the most comfortable of beds
Janette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was better than advertised as the bathroom was upgraded from the picture when booking. We paid for a sea view, scaffolding did obscure it a little but we could still see the sea. A light above the bathroom mirror would be good as the only light was above and shadowed your face. All staff we came across were lovely and helpful. Maybe a seperate range of lite bites in the bar would be nice. Parking was very good around the hotel as it is free Nov-March!
Lynn, 3-night trip
