Perfect location and seaview

The room was, especially the en-suite in a poor state of repair. No toilet roll holder Toilet didn’t flush properly, did report it but nothing done about it. Bathroom door was split and warped from water damage The edge of the floor next to the skirtings was all worn with gaps which would make cleaning difficult and potentially unhygienic. Ceiling very slopped in bathroom and bedroom so a few bumped heads. Lots of rules pinned up, fine of £30 for clogging toilet with anything other than toilet paper, in the information book in the room it’s £50 Lobby/foyer/restaurant lovely and beautifully decorated. Breakfast amazing Waiting staff couldn’t do enough! Amazing location. I think we were just unlucky with our room, would stay again but not in a loft room

The hotels location is excellent. Our room was big enough for 2 adults 1 child and a dog. The decor could be improved in the room quite dated but overall we would come back again.

Great location, friendly helpful staff. Exceptional weather pleasant with the window open at night. Bit of noise from a couple of passers by in the street falling out after closing time, but overall I would definitely stay again with my 9 year old son. ❤️

Property is a beach front property however rooms are very dated and ours had a damp patch on the wall the floors were very creaky and noisy was woken during the night with someone either upstairs or next door going to the toilet from the ventilation fan. I couldn't get heater to turn on so room was cold by the time i noticed it wasnt working there was no staff around just the night porter. We returned to hotel around 10.45 pm and it was all locked up had to go round back to ring bell for night porter to let us in. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good

Two separate visits within a couple of days. The first time was fantastic and i would have given 5 stars all round. Check in was great, room was lovely. Unfortunately on our next visit a couple of days later check in was not so good, the man at the desk really didn't appear to know what he was doing, it took ages for him to find our booking and barely spoke to us during the process. We had a different room the second time and it was not so good, smaller and looked very tired especially the bathroom. Breakfast was great both times.

Beautiful room, nice staff, clean, lovely bar & outside dining area (short stay, so didn't sample the food apart from breakfast which was fine). Located right on the the beachfront & a 5-10min walk from the town centre. If disabled & coming from either station, get a taxi as it's about a 30 min walk. Lift to all floors of hotel. Only issues were someone setting off the alarm after 1am (smoker?) & some guests being noisy at 3.30am (but only about 10 mins) - post nightclub? Otherwise, great stay. Comfy bed. Good sleep. Beach wasn't too busy. Fabulously soft sand (beached jellyfish the only downpoint). Close to shops if you need anything.
