James, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel

Our room was lovely clean and comfortable and the Bathroom was like new. Staff were very helpful even supplying us with glasses and ice. Breakfast was self-service plenty of choice. Good location close to beach bus stops and only a short walk to bars and restaurants
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay

The bed and pillows were very comfortable, the shower worked well and the room was spacious and clean. Parking is free at the back of the hotel or £10 at the front. Swimming pool/jacuzzi was a nice extra. The hotel is very old but it has everything you need. The receptionist was working alone with no other support staff to help with customer requests and queries so service was a bit slow but she managed well and was welcoming

Friendly helpful welcome

Can I just say how helpful and friendly the lady on reception was,we didn’t get her name but know she was Scottish. She made sure we had a suitable room as mobility was an issue and made sure all dietary requirements were sorted out before breakfast, she made check in Quick and easy, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.
Meriel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice for short getaway, sad about pool & hot tub.

The welcome was a little off at the beginning but seemed to warm as time went by. The room was clean and modern, though probably a little too cluttered with bulky furniture. The hot tub and pool are very dated, unusual and a little grubby. The gardens need some tending to. We did relax and we had a good time. It was handy for walking to the seafront and we found free parking not too far away. The heating worked well.
Joanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Spotlessly clean room and amazing staff

Stayed here last year so thought we would book again. The hotel has recently had a new owner and where it seemed a little dated (the bathroom) and run down in some areas (mostly outside) this was being dealt with by the new team. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a great view and the service from the staff were amazing, they couldn't have done any more for us. One of my friends stayed in one of the recently refurbished rooms and it was beautiful so will definitely return to see where this hotels new owner takes this hotel with their plans, as it was already a lovely place.
