Very Good

What a lovely hotel to stay at. The location is amazing. With beautiful views of the sea/beach. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of dining options if you didn’t fancy eating at the restaurant on site (but the menu was really good). Will definitely be back soon

We stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms, it was very well kept and comfortable, we were only there for one night, but would stay again.
One thing is lack of parking, need to pre book as there are limited spaces, but the train station is less than a 2 min walk away, so for us it wasn’t a problem as we parked there instead.

Relaxed environment, a little old now. Very few parking spaces but the overflow car park nearby felt safe enough. Bar excellent, food nice. Very relaxing time

Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good, staff were lovely
We had a lovely short stay at the Great Western, the hotel is a little dated but apparently is currently undergoing a refurbishment
The staff were pleasant and polite
The bar area was nice and the view from the beer garden is lovely, overlooking the beach
The bedroom was a good size, the bathroom was ok and both were spotless
The beds were very comfy
The bedrooms could do with more plug sockets as there were only 2 and we had to unplug things and swap them around
In saying that we would stay there again

Lovely location. Bar/restaurant had amazing views. Close to town. Decent food. Great value for money.
Property is in need of renovation (parts currently underway) but still a very enjoyable stay. Fantastic location with excellent views from dining rooms and bar overlooking the ocean. Staff are excellent and do all they can to assist.
Nice clean room kept clean by room cleaners, complimentary biscuits and drink making things were topped every day, very friendly staff and a fantastic bar and resturaunt
