The location is excellent to access the town and the beach. The spa facilities were good but the jacuzzi wasn't working. The food was good but not much of fruit options. The dinner prices were expensive. The room was cleaned, quiet and I could rest.

Great place to stay when wanting to be close to the beach, short walk of 10mins. Beautiful little garden in centre of hotel. Swimming pool etc facilities were good enough for the time we had. Polite and helpful staff, especially at breakfast. Only downside is could do will a refurb as bit dated, or at least replace carpets as smelt musky around the hotel and corridors, and room. Other than that i would visit again

The property where reception is is beautiful. There is a garden thats peaceful and attractive. The staff are very welcoming and very helpful. Only thing that let it down was the room. No labelled shampoo or conditioner or even hand soap/gel. We had to buy this. The bed wasn't to my personal liking, the materess was hard and the bed was too high for me being 8 months pregnant was hard getting in and out but perhaps that part is just because i am pregnant. However, overall, i would recommend this hotel to other guests as everything else was perfect. The spa facilities were amazing too.

Enjoyable stay, lovely to have the pool and spa. Breakfast was good too. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were very flat. The bathroom was huge but the limescale in the sink was a bit off putting. Staff all very friendly.

The staff were great and breakfast was delicious. The rooms and building itself was well kept & clean too. The WiFi worked great and the location was fabulous with access to plenty of pubs, shops, places to eat & of course, the beach! For me, the room was way too warm (radiators were not on) and the beds didn't have top sheets so I struggled to sleep. However as we were leaving we spotted what may have been Aircon so I wish we knew about this sooner. It'd also be lovely to have a mini fridge or shampoo. We also struggled to sleep due to noise from other hotel guests, though this isn't really the fault of the hotel. The carpark was rather difficult as the spaces were small so numerous vehicles parked over 2 spots and many more had to park over the white lines. My dad did his best to park in the lines (in between 2 who hadnt) and so spent a lot of time stressing about whether his car would get scratched or damaged.
