"Hotel public areas nice. Bedroom furniture a little tired in the room we were in. Very clean all over. Breakfast good and lots of choices albeit not the cheapest at £15.95 a head. Dinner choices ok but felt the quality for the money was lacking a bit. Service wasn’t great, waiting staff taking your drinks order weren’t allowed to take food orders. Another waitress had to do that! Staff were all very pleasant and helpful though."

"Nice staff, a lot of information provided. Off street parking is just next to the hotel. Lidl’s within short walking distance. Rooms and the building itself are little tired. Bathroom was a tiny one, but everything worked fine (except the extractor fan). Decorating was little outdated. But if you are looking for affordable stay overnight or few nights stay, then I would recommend it."

10/10 Excellent
"Welcomed by very friendly staff at reception. Beautiful setting and views from the restaurant and bar. Beach is directly opposite and the town is a short walk away. Twin room was a little small and as the weather was unusually warm, it felt a bit stuffy but it was very clean and towels changed each day. We had breakfast both mornings and also had lunch one day and dinner. All the food was great and the service was excellent. Would definitely return but would pay a bit extra for a sea facing room."
