Lovely hotel for a coastal break

Fabulous professional and helpful staff. Room was nice and clean and basically fine if nothing special. It was also lovely and quiet but it was uncomfortably hot and the small fan provided wasn’t really adequate. The breakfast was good with a plentiful supply of hot and cold items and fresh eggs cooked to order. We enjoyed an evening meal in the bistro which we found to be good value too. The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the seafront and very close to a gorgeous area of coast. We would certainly return.

We stayed in one of the Executive Suites. Very spacious, clean, well decorated, great view. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was excellent. Only drawback was the noise from the DJ in the bar below. However, this stopped at midnight and it was a Friday night so to be expected. Would definitely stay again.

Room was nothing like photos, starting to look a little tired. Corridor doors banging until late into night. Cold tap was luke warm weirdly and plumbing barking like a dog for 20 minutes after every use of a tap. Was given a free drink voucher in with paperwork on check in but never mentioned and only saw it after I had checked out.

Unhappy

I had booked an executive room which was supposed to have a sofa and twin head shower instead I ended up in a room that I had to squeeze past the bed banging my leg on the radiator with no sofa and windows only opened an inch in this weeks heat was not good the mattress on the bed had dips in it I kept waking up in a hole I was in room 130 which reception said was an executive room and it was the only one they could give me as my stay was just 2 days , which I don’t understand as I have had far better rooms here when only staying 1 night . I have stayed here many times but I think this will be my last visit My dinner was over cooked and dry on the first night cooked breakfast was poor quality blackpudding full of gristle and sausage and bacon so dry I couldn’t swallow, I opted for cereal and toast the second day as did a lot of the guests. You also get a free drink each night you stay which was a nice touch until the started limited the selection to draft cider Fosters beer or glass of wine none of which I drink . I Can’t believe a hotel with such a lovely location can’t do better for there guests

Ok, wouldn’t stay again

Delay with food service. Woken at 4am with extremely loud water pressure noise as a basement room. Every additional water usage in the hotel produced a loud noise, in general a nice quiet room but horrendous water noise through out the night.
