James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Desk staff lad was very nice. Room was ok, toilet flush water kept running, only half a roll of loo roll, window frames and skirting need sanding and re-painted. Bed was comfy view was great. Breakfast staff were not that attentive especially an older lady, she was miserable. Breakfast choice was poor very little for vegetarian and at £15 each I would go somewhere else. Was a bit improved since our last visit in September.

Will return again but must book parking space

No mirror in room for my wife to view blow drying her hair. We had excellent view of sea from our room. Evening meal service was friendly and attentive. Bar service was slow but the barman was very helpful and informative. Overall not unhappy with our one night stay. Reception was very friendly and helpful.

Good Dog Friendly Hotel

Nice place to stay at, very happy that it was dog friendly. All i would say is that if the windows were updated and the bed was slightly bigger then i would have rated higher. I will be back though.

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is in a perfect location but it seriously needs updating and a fresh coat of paint. Rooms very shabby. I stayed in a ‘superior’ room but not superior in my opinion . I had to ask for toiletries as they were all empty or nearly empty. Reception staff friendly and helpful. I felt 10am check out was a bit early

Pay for the view

The room we had had an amazing view. The hotel seemed to be in quite a run down condition our room was quite run down and in poor condition really not matching the photos provided on the booking profile. Overall not that impressed. However the sea view room view made it better.

Not as exoected

When we booked the room that was pictured was nothing like the room we got, the one we got is badly in need of refurbishment, had they shown the one we got we would not have booked, also when we asked to change they said it was fully booked but was still showing rooms available on another booking site, also booked this hotel as yiu get parking but could not get parking in the day, very disappointed!!

8/10 Very good

Great Location and fabulous views.

Hotel very tired but I had one of the updated rooms which was lovely. Staff helpful and welcoming except at breakfast. The waiter could have showed me where everything was instead of me having to ask (self service buffet) Dinner was tasty and reasonably priced.
