Great location!! Amazing view
Great stay, location fab! Very clean, everything we needed in room. A little noisy but we expected it due to location. We were amazed by the price due to location, it was quicker to pop back to the hotel for a wee than queue down the beach haha. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming :) would stay again :)

We have stayed at the hotel a few times and it has the lovely feel of a family run hotel although I assume it’s not. Staff are lovely and really helpful.

Truly worth a stay at this lovely hotel
We travelled from London to make the most of the sunshine. This was a return visit, as we have stayed before and love its location, 1min walk to pier and beach.
On arrival, greeted by a lovely young lady on reception. I cheekily asked if there was a sea view room available, as we booked a standard room, without hesitation she upgraded us to a lovely room with views over the pier and beach, large king size bed and a dressing and seating area.
During our stay the staff where lovely, friendly and helpful. Defo third return. Would highly recommend.

Nice place and great area but the smallest bed. Rapid for a king but that was no king and we are both over 6 foot. We didn’t have time to say anything as we were staying one night .
There seems to be a massive range in the types of room but we paid over 130 for one night plus 14 parking and really we could have done better in another hotel.

Amazing location, beautiful hotel
Had a superior family room with my kids, room was huge, beautiful and very clean. The whole hotel was spotless and all staff I met were lovely and friendly. Location couldnt have been better, literally right in centre of beachfront.
Food in restaurant was really nice and good choices too. No complaints
