Fantastic Hotel
Lovely hotel with sea views. Staff are super friendly. Bar and restaurant are excellent. We had the apartment which was huge and well decorated with two bedrooms and bathrooms. Hotel is a little isolated from the town but the bar was vibrant.

Pleasant but avoid certain rooms
Inviting, comfortable and well-prices. Avoid any room directly beside the lift. People wait right outside the door and talk. This disturbed us several times during the night.

Review
The overall stay was ok however the evening bar staff at 1040 were surly and really didn't want to serve the staff the relieved them at 11 pm were fine. The rest of the hotel and staff were fine. With the exception of breakfast at 0915 there were no eggs, bacon, hash browns black pudding. In fact the only thing on the hot plates was beans, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

Excellent hotel , for an excellent price
What a lovely hotel with a fantastic view..Hotel was lovely and clean.on arrival staff were very welcoming. The reception area has a lovely seating area
We had twin room which was very large and warm.no draughty windows and heavy blackout curtains.Beds were really comfy
Teas and coffees in room were replaced daily also complimentary water.
We had breakfast which was made to order during the week but help your self on the weekend. Had options for a full English, breads, cheeses, ham lots of fresh fruit whole or ready sliced on a platter, yogurts and pastries, a great set up for the day.
The bar staff were very polite and professional which a well stocked bar.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and can't wait to stay here next time we visit the area

We stayed here as we had a gig to go to at Leas Cliff Hall.
The staff were really friendly and helped us out whenever we needed something extra for the room.
We had a very warm welcome and the staff maintained this throughout our stay.
Highly recommended and will definitely stay again if we are in the are!
