Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The rooms were very comfortable and clean but i feel the landings and the stairs could do with updating. Carpets look old and worn and carpets are not the most hygienic. The pools were cold and the areas around the changing rooms could have been cleaner. Also more lockers are needed in the sister hotel for users of Sauna and indoor swimming pool. Also was not too happy that we had to pay more for the car park particularly when the space is not guaranteed. I felt like once i found a parking spot i could not take my car out again as i would not have been able to get a parking space upon return. Overall we were happy with our stay it was a great location. The customer service was good. If they can improve on the issues mentioned above it would be great

We had a good stay here. Staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. Everything was very efficient. No queues for check-in or breakfast and dinner service very good. Our only criticism would be that the decor was tired and our room, although comfortable, wasn’t very modern. The hotel could do with a refurbishment. Sound proofing could also be better. We were on the first floor and could hear loud music from downstairs in the evening until past 10pm. Indoor pool was in hotel next door (chlorine in air was very strong and made my eyes sting even as a spectator), outdoor pool was pretty chilly to stay in for too long.

A little shabby from our last stay in 2021. Chairs worn, chairs so low could not get out of unaided. If we had booked we would not have had to pay £12 a night parking. So will book direct next time.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This hotel has the potential to be great due to its location and views however it is in need of exterior (e.g painting) and interior attention to detail. Examples inside include tape on areas of carpet in the hallways, public sofas with split cushions and down at heal furniture on the balconies. The decor was somewhat outdated in parts. The room and bathroom were fine. Parking is difficult and is charged extra at £12 per day when booking through Expedia which we didn’t know in advance. We paid for a superior room with a balcony and sea view. The room itself was nice however there was considerable noise from the hall and neighbouring rooms making for a disrupted stay. The sea view was impressive, the balcony was very large but with tatty furniture and little privacy which was disappointing. We didn’t eat at the hotel choosing to walk down to the nearby beach restaurant which we enjoyed. We understand some of the facilities were in the next door hotel which was not explained to us on arrival. Overall a disappointment.

Family stay for a funeral

Myself and a large amount of family booked to stay as the hotel were also providing services for my mothers post funeral reception. From start to finish everyone we dealt with were exceptional. Professional and sensitive to our situation throughout our stay, managing to accomodate everyone's needs as they came. The reception team, bar and restaurant staff and the guys sorting out the function room were great. Our actual room and those of my family were all very clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant at short notce with no issues and ate in the bar area at various points, with all the food being very good. We have stayed a few times over recent years and always get great service. The location is great and handy for town as well.
