Double room was small and very hot, fan helped a bit. Water was clean in pool but hand rail could be tightened. Not allowed in main area first afternoon due to private function (an area we choose hotel for the view). Next evening another group took over most of the entertainment area, one of their dogs was off lead, on and around dance floor, another dog was sitting on the chairs. Entertainers good. Drinks price high and varied in quality due to bar or restaurant prepared Okay if you are on a deal or package but not otherwise. Felt as a hotel guest in the way.

Staff were fantastic, could not do more to help you. Food was lovely. Room was very basic, but clean, only thing I would suggest is to place fans in the room as it was extremely hot. Other than that I would stay there again.

The first room we were given was not up to 3 star standard. We contacted reception the next morning and they were very considerate and we were offered an alternative room that was more acceptable. The location, food and the staff were excellent. We hope to return.

Nice location, comfortable stay

Care to spot the entrance to the hotel is needed, as the road is busy. The hotel is comfortable. We had a problem finding the room, as the numbers of the rooms aren’t sequential. It would be useful to be told that when checking in as it was confusing. We attended a concert and it was lovely to have a room and avoid an hour’s drive home afterwards.

Lovely 1 night stay

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming . Room had a lovely view though was a little tired looking. But was still very clean and comfortable. It was nice that they dont charge extra for parking and there was plenty of space. When we asked if we could takr breakfast in the room, the staff were so lovely and brought it to us. Pool was refreshing - we didn't feel rushed to leave. Would definitely visit this hotel again.

Was upgraded to a seaview room which was nice. Room was a bit dated and could do with more plug sockets. Bathroom was small but adequate. It was extremely hot and there was no fan, fortunately we had been to stsy with family and had a big fan in the csr or we would have struggled with the heat. Pool area needs work! Some of the safety glass panels around the pool area were cracked, the pool beds and chairs badly need replacing with many broken. People ordered food and eat at a pool table, as soon as they moved there was mayhem with the seagulls, so many of them that they knocked crockery off the table which smashed. No one came to collect and about 30 minutes later the barman csme out and delivered cocktails to a couple of residents. I felt sure he would clear up the mess but he just walked past it! I then thought well he will tell a waitress, nothing! We were at the pool for a further 30 minutes, when we left the plates and mess was still there. Hotel is a little out of the Town Centre but we thought it was walkable, elderly residents might consider it too far by foot. Night porter was lovely, very friendly. Manager was very nice and dealt with a breakfast mix up with politeness and was very fair. Pool area main issue and is in need of some love.

Unbelievable personal attention. Thanks! Thanks!

This staff treated us like family. The manager helped us get medical care, even loaned us his personal phone. The night manager supplied us with ice to handle pain. Dinner was amazing. All staff, including the kitchen staff and chefs, literally stood outside to wave goodbye to the seniors on the buses every day!!
