This was a lovely hotel, from the minute we walked through the door the staff could not be more friendlier or have done more for us. The food was great and the beach was only across the road from hotel . Really was a lovely break away.😊

Lovely staff area a bit quiet. Hotel had bar sufficient for a drink. Arrived late back and wanted snack as hotel is away from shops etc but was advised kitchen was closed. I would have thought residents could get something but overall great value

This is a nice standard 3* hotel, certainly not a 4*. Rooms are small and basic. There is a bar/restaurant and the food is lovely. Live band playing in the bar on Saturdays and Sundays which is great. Nice seaside location too.

First room had what looked like mould on the bathroom walls. Second one we were allocated wasn't much better tbh. I feel the hotel needs a complete overhaul. Staff were very nice, especially at breakfast, which was lovely.
