Needs updating

Booked suite so got parking thank goodness. Room a bit dated. Good to have a fridge. Heating came on at 2.30am very annoying. Room was to hot. Window wouldn’t stay open. Bed very hard. Tv remote did not work. Menu at night awful when asked for advice on special pie just told in was meat. Breakfast was good. Would have liked filter coffee for the price.

We were disappointed with the lack of hot water in the dinning room. The water in the urn was tepid .......so a decent cup of tea or coffee was impossible. In addition of the three bananas in the fruit bowl only one was edible. The other 2 were excessively over ripe.

As many people said previously no free parking on site unless you stay in suite i had a great single room overlooking the sea which is unusual for a single quality of food was excellent & all staff were very accommodating & on leaving the person on reception carried my bags to the car a glass of wine was the most money i've paid ever i would come back

Remote carpark expensive at £15-40 for 24 hours. No pavement to the town for some distance. Hotel not very clean - dirty floor and table. Paintwork needed attention particularly in the reception area. Food average, drinks expensive. Room service non existent. Staff pleasant and helpful. The whole place needs an internal refurbishment.

We have been wanting to visit this hotel for years and were amazed that a Saturday night was free, with a sea-view room..and the weather was to be glorious. Granted early check-in; bright room, clean and modern, well decorated. Manager even let us park our m'cycle directly opposite, just off the road. This would have been an excellent stay if we'd eaten elsewhere. Evening meal was poor by any standard (very restricted options-no burgers/steak/flat breads) and what arrived 1hr later was only eaten because we were very hungry. Breakfast was dire for me and my partner kindly donated 1/3 of her omelette to save me complaining. We felt for the staff because they obviously do long hours and the heatwave must have affected things in the kitchen. I have tried to give a true reflection of our experience and I tend to give 5* or write no review at all, however I will be emailing the hotel regarding the degree to which we felt let down.
