Dinner menu was a bit limited and my curry was not nice. Looks or taste. The room was very clean but tired and dated. Fabulous view though.

Short stay

The room was quite warm and the door was sticking on opening and couldn’t be closed without slamming. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.

Staff were very helpful. The property definitely needs painting on the outside. Inside was ok.
Karen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nicer on the inside than the outside. Just across the street from the beach. The room, and bathroom are on the small side, but clean and fresh. Good breakfast included and free parking.
Pam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.
Andrea, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room comfortable and well furnished. Didn’t like the rather heavy duvet - like trying to sleep under a rug. Good cooked breakfast: hard-working staff run off their feet so waiting inevitable. They were helpful and welcoming.
Denys, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant staff , very relaxing
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room looked out on to scaffolding which we were not happy about, also the TV kept loosing the signal, I went down to ask if there was another room and straight away I was found the choice of two other rooms which were more to our liking, The staff in the bar and restaurant were really friendly and very good at their jobs, over all we had a very nice stay.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a shame that our stay was tempered by staff shortages. Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The clientele occupy the upper age group which moaning and complaining are almost mandatory, ignore them.
