Although very clean and tidy the hotel is dated and definitely needs an upgrade especially with making the rooms more soundproof.
During our stay the fire alarm kept going off during the night. We had to call reception to clarify if we needed to evacuate or not which we found poor as the majority of guests appeared to be quite elderly. There was no explanation or apology from staff the next day. This is a moderately expensive hotel and we expected better.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is generally ok, I've just had 2 nights there and to be honest it was generally clean and tidy, the staff were excellent all round and the entertainment on the night time was reasonably, However the room, (and i had one with a balcony) was so small would would not want to spendca week in it, and the bed was awful. It was like sleeping on a rock. The hotel is what we would call tired and needs quite a bit of money spending on it to get it up to a first class hotel. Still i have a good time there.
Brilliant short break. Staff were great. Just what the doctor ordered!

Super value - will use again.
A wee bit old fashioned, but perfect for its customer base. Really friendly, down to earth staff, comfortable nights sleep and crackin breakfast. Super value - will use again.
Clean but very small room. Cheap, suitable for solo traveller. Hotel quite big largely catering for coach parties with big dining room and evening entertainment. Position close to weĺl maintained lawns at top of cliffs. Very safe, railings and benches. Magnificent views.
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.
Everything was excellent the property who the staff the only thing I objected to was being too close to the corridor the door slammed and slammed and slammed and it only needs adjustment on the automatic closer personal thing just about me. I don’t like soft beds and pillows for that great
The room was lovely and clean, the bathroom was spotless. The bed was comfy and the room was really quiet.
The internet access was awful in our room but improved in the main area of the hotel.
We felt the food options were very limited. The roast carvery needed a better variety of vegetables in my opinion. Breakfast was tasty although basic. Parking in the area is very tricky. The hotel is situated in the perfect place for visiting the local area on foot. We would visit again but eat elsewhere for the evening meal.
Hotel very clean and decor looked fresh. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely view of the sea from my room and all public rooms. Would stay here again.
