Beautiful hotel in an idealic setting. Showing its age a little bit in some areas but that also contributed to the charm.

The view from the room was great, the whole place needs an upgrade, there was mold in the bathroom, hot water in the shower was not hot enough. Breakfast was very good.

Car parking

My only complaint was car parking first night had to park further along the street glad it wasn’t raining second night we got into the hotels car park
mary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a great location with lovely views of the water. It offered parking which was very convenient and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is older and could use an update as everything is pretty tired. Overall it was perfect for what we needed which was a place to lay our head at the end of the day but I would not want to stay there more than a couple nights.

James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Desk staff lad was very nice. Room was ok, toilet flush water kept running, only half a roll of loo roll, window frames and skirting need sanding and re-painted. Bed was comfy view was great. Breakfast staff were not that attentive especially an older lady, she was miserable. Breakfast choice was poor very little for vegetarian and at £15 each I would go somewhere else. Was a bit improved since our last visit in September.

Will return again but must book parking space

No mirror in room for my wife to view blow drying her hair. We had excellent view of sea from our room. Evening meal service was friendly and attentive. Bar service was slow but the barman was very helpful and informative. Overall not unhappy with our one night stay. Reception was very friendly and helpful.

Good Dog Friendly Hotel

Nice place to stay at, very happy that it was dog friendly. All i would say is that if the windows were updated and the bed was slightly bigger then i would have rated higher. I will be back though.

8/10 Very good

Great value for a lovely friendly hotel

It was a great stay here. The beds are really comfortable and the rooms very spacious. We had a sea view which was lovely to wake up to. The staff were brilliant, friendly and very helpful. Only downside was the shower was always cold. The staff tried to fix the pressure right away. However, everything else was great

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is in a perfect location but it seriously needs updating and a fresh coat of paint. Rooms very shabby. I stayed in a ‘superior’ room but not superior in my opinion . I had to ask for toiletries as they were all empty or nearly empty. Reception staff friendly and helpful. I felt 10am check out was a bit early
