We stayed over at the weekend, great room for the price. Big enough for my family of 4. Room was clean & fresh bedding & towels available along with a kettle & tea & coffee facilities. Only downside was our eldest was gutted the tv had no signal - not a bad thing though really. Would return in the future.

I liked the friendliness of the host: the location (opposite south pier) & the room(sea view). The hotelier was very kind & on seeing how lame I am, gave ma a room on a lower floor. I would happily stay there again. There was confusion reaching the hotel because a rival, calling itself the Sands Venue, is under construction & the name is so close to the Sands that I can imagine other future guests getting confused. The upstart venue should be made to change its name

We stayed over the weekend in the family room The lady who greeted us was very nice and showed us to our room The room was basic but clean Could do with another pillow each, blackout or darker curtains as the light flooded in at 5am and a bathroom mirror for shaving Other than that the room was okay Tea and coffee making facilities Seagulls very noisy ( not the hotels fault though ) Location was great and really close to everything Owner doesn’t live on site but gave us a number should we need her which was fine
