6/10 Good

First words of greeting were, 'your card was declined' ... not very tactful! In fact the booking site had a pay at hotel policy so although i used my card, got confirmation of booking, and ref number, i had to actually pay when i got there. The card hadnt been declined at all. My friend and i were told to come through to the office, where we were shown the words 'card declined' on the screen. I was not happy as i knew it wouldnt be, but offered cash instead.. then i was told 'we dont take cash'. So after nearly deciding to go elsewhere, i offered the card again. It went through fine. I was then told that id ' probably put my number in wrong, we all do it'. I was going to argue that the booking wouldnt have been confirmed if id done so, but was so upset by the whole initial impression, that i took my receipt and key and went to room. He did add 'it was nothing personal' but we both thought it was handled unprofessionally and abuptly. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice view. Breakfast was good although, having checked in for a table we then had someone come up to us during our meal to ask our room number again. Check out was easy. No other problems.

Great location ,good staff ,clean rooms ,great breakfast . the only negetive is paying £10 night to park .but plenty of free spaces around the hotel.

Would look forward to returning

Can't thank the staff enough for going the extra mile and on multiple occasions at that - not least getting me sorted with another nights stay during the rail strike (they were at capacity). Everyone provided exceptional service and it was very much appreciated - even the night manager was happy to give advice of when to get the best photos over the bay. The hotel is in a perfect location overlooking the bay (definitely worth paying extra for a room with a view or better still a balcony). The hotel itself looks nice, bright and is spacious, offering plenty of facilities for guests to use. The rooms were recently decorated with modern ensuites and are well kitted out, including a fan which was great at cooling us down during the heatwave. Great value for money.

Great location

Hotel rather dated and looking a bit tired in places. Warm welcome on arrival and were given an early check in which was great. Parking is chargeable at £5 a night which I hadn’t realised on booking but you can park in roads around for free. I had booked a room with a sea view which was stunning and a balcony. Sadly couldn’t open the curtains in the morning to enjoy it whilst still in bed because anyone on their neighbouring balconies would have had full view of us. Bedroom very compact but clean and comfortable. Was a little surprised on first opening the door to the room to be confronted with a sink. Whilst there was an en-suite it was too small to get the sink in as well. Bit strange having to use the toilet and then come out to wash your hands . Whilst reception staff were lovely, sadly the same could not be said about the dining room staff. They have a very strange arrangement where you are allocated a table with your room number on it and have to sit there. I asked if we could have a table by the window and was told abruptly that it was not possible even though there were empty tables with no numbers on.Instead, despite the restaurant being 3/4 empty , we were made to sit on a table which was only about 6” apart from the neighbouring table . Luckily they were very friendly but we did have a conversation about ‘Fawlty Towers’ as this is how it came across. Breakfast was however very good. Won’t be returning to stay here though .
