Gorgeous hotel, I will definitely stay again. My children and I enjoyed being here. The bar/lounge is great as is the impressive reception. Really good food and service from staff. Our room was a little bit dated but did not faze us. As the beds were super comfy and we had a bath and shower which was good. Overall had a great experience.

Lovely hotel, it was very quiet, given it was March but a 25 minute wait for someone to come and serve in the bar seemed excessive- just didn’t seem to have staff about the place. Beach view was great and room very big. Great location if you can find a spot to park your car.

The hotel was lovely, however the room itself was pretty tired decor wise, and quite cluttered. Extra pillows and milk / tea etc had to be requested from Reception. The hotel lounge was good value during Happy Hour but charging 80p for a dash of lime in lager was very steep I thought
