David

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location was okay with views of the shoreline but no practical access to the beach and the surrounding facilities were also a bit basic

Sarah

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was lovely and clean, the bathroom was spotless. The bed was comfy and the room was really quiet. The internet access was awful in our room but improved in the main area of the hotel. We felt the food options were very limited. The roast carvery needed a better variety of vegetables in my opinion. Breakfast was tasty although basic. Parking in the area is very tricky. The hotel is situated in the perfect place for visiting the local area on foot. We would visit again but eat elsewhere for the evening meal.

Philip

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is generally ok, I've just had 2 nights there and to be honest it was generally clean and tidy, the staff were excellent all round and the entertainment on the night time was reasonably, However the room, (and i had one with a balcony) was so small would would not want to spendca week in it, and the bed was awful. It was like sleeping on a rock. The hotel is what we would call tired and needs quite a bit of money spending on it to get it up to a first class hotel. Still i have a good time there.
