Book a Dolton Cottage

"We were very happy with our stay, the staff were very welcoming when we arrived and throughout our stay. Our room over looked the beach/sea, well presented. The bed comfortable and the room was very quiet. My only concern was the smell of cigarette smoke drifting up from the balcony below. The breakfast was very tasty with plenty of choice. The only disappointment was the poor coffee flavour/taste. I tried both machines with no improvement. It was not to my taste. Very minor issues. On the whole a very enjoyable stay."

"We had a lovely time here and would recommend. We had a one bed apartment for our family of 4 (3 and 5 year old) which was absolutely fine. The kitchen was well equipped and had a supermarket delivery which was super easy. Our only problem with the apartment is the shower was basically just a trickle! The grounds are lovely, the kids loved the peacocks and ducks! The play park was also really well looked after. They also loved flying down the hills on their scooters. The facilities are also lovely, especially the pool which is heated. There's also evening entertainment in the games room/bar. We all loved the magic show."

"Good selection for evening meal but breakfast seemed a bit pricey so didn’t have it"

"Hoops Inn is a lovely Grade II building with history. It has a lovely garden, although on a steep incline so may not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulty. The staff are very welcoming & helpful. Lovely freshly cooked breakfasts with good quality produce."

"Breakfast was ok but nothing special, average items. I didn’t really enjoy the coffee out of the machine. Large room but no toiletries other than soap dispenser on the wall Instant coffee & tea in room but no biscuits "

"Food is very expensive"

"Amazing stay for the Easter weekend. The staff were faultless, impecably trained, discrete and very effective. The property was in good condition. Food and service were amazing. Having stayed in hotels all over the world at all star ratings this hotel proves you can still deliver amazing service for a more reasonable price. One of few, anywhere i would return to. "

"First of all the positives. Lovely reception staff. Rooms were lovely and clean. Location perfect for our needs. Negatives, once you leave the reception and ground floor it is a very dated building. Our room was small but clean, issue glass screen in bathroom which you can’t move due to sink being in way so you cant get to the taps without climbing in the bath. I was woken around 2am by a really noisy butch of guests, not the hotels fault but could probably do with some sound proofing as the only reason I woke up was because it was so loud I thought they were in our room. Breakfast, lovely girls but didn’t ask us about allergies, showed us to table didn’t advise about cereals or juices. Asked if we wanted tea or coffee and took our breakfast order. How would I like my eggs? Pouched please! Received fried. No I didn’t complain as the lady sat next to us asked for boiled eggs and was told they don’t usually do them so would need to wait 10 minutes, when they arrived they were over cooked. The lady had also been woken by the other guests around 2am. Also restaurant was empty yet the lady and us were put right in a walk way where there seemed to be a lot of human traffic passing us. We did say something to reception on leaving and was offered to speak to a manger but I didn’t feel the need as the receptionist was lovely. Would we stay again, probably not."

"Very nice clean hotel with very friendly staff. Michelle provided very good service and shared some interesting history about the hotel and the local area. Evening meal and carvery was excellent. Very convenient car park also. I’d recommend staying here."
