"An excellent standard of bedroom; Delicious food and very helpful staff. I enjoyed the swimming pools and the sauna. I do think it a shame that when there is a wedding reception and other functions on it takes over any availability of a lounge area. That is my one sadness with the hotel as it was extremely noisy and there was nowhere to sit to enjoy a lounge area or bar. That was on one evening. The second evening was delightful because there wasn’t a function on. It does need addressing."

"Southern Cross was a quaint place to stay in, thatched building with sloping floors and uneven walls, typical of a very old building. The room was a little dark and the only point i would criticise was the ensuite had no wash basin in it as there was one in the room itself. But not very hygienic after using the toilet! Lovely staff and lovely breakfast."

"Great location, right on the seafront. Staff are absolutely lovely. Hotel is very clean and seems to be freshly decorated, although in a rather dated style that perhaps caters more to the average age of the clientele. Breakfast is served at the table, rather than a buffet. The hotel suggests a jacket and tie in the restaurant for dinner, so it’s quite formal. Room was super clean and the bathroom bright, clean and clinical. Bed was very soft and bouncy. It was a very pleasant stay but, despite being in my 50s, I couldn’t help feeling that we were lowering the average age by about 20 years."
