Staff are so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel and rooms are beautiful ly appointed.
The only down side of this hotel is lack of parking. Otherwise I can’t fault the place, everything of good quality. Staff really helpful and tentative.

Lovely clean room and very quiet.
Evening meal and breakfast were excellent.
Staff very friendly
Room was beautiful with amazing shower. It was lovely and warm despite temperatures outside! There were lots of helpful extras like bath robes, toiletries, tea, coffee and even shortbread! Breakfast was delicious and service was excellent.
Had a 2 night stay with our 2 dogs & dined in the restaraunt both nights. Our spacious room on the 2nd floor was lovely. Cosy bar area & comfortable dog friendly restaurant area. Staff were very welcoming to both us & our dogs. The beach & dunes are a short walk away. Parking could be a problem, spaces for 3 residents cars at the back of hotel, otherwise street parking. Overall an enjoyable stay.
An excellent hotel. The room was really well appointed and spotless. Very well maintained with excellent supplies. The food & service in the restaurant was brilliant too!
I chose the twin room, which was compact, but there were nice chairs to sit on, everything was spotless and the shower room was spacious and very clean. The staff were all very kind and friendly.
Internet was good too.
Sat Nav got me to outside the hotel, but the tiny lane to the back of the hotel was difficult to see as I was onnmy own. On my third drive round the one way system I gave up and found a parking place and just walked.
The food was tasty and well presented.
We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and had a great time. Our room was lovely and very clean. The breakfast menu is varied plentiful and very good. Gillian and Karen are very friendly and helpful. Have to mention the desserts which we had one evening which were delicious.
Great stay, lovely room, lovely atmosphere with friendly staff, room a little warm, a lighter tog mattress would have been good.

Good but over-priced
Nice friendly staff, room was way too hot but you can’t help the weather. Clean but slightly tired and overpriced for what it was. Maybe we just picked an expensive night, not terrible but I wouldn’t stay there at that cost again. Breakfast was good.
This place is adorable! The staff was wonderful, friendly and informative. The food was fabulous, dinner and the included breakfast. Comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.
