Disliked: Staff & service
We didn't like the staff attitude when we tried to make a complaint, lack of facilities in the room and noise from the function room downstairs. The view from the room however was great as was the breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was large and views lovely as had a seafront room. Breakfast was very good, cooked fresh and plenty of it. Lady serving was lovely. Room dated but clean, bathroom TINY! Biggest issue was the hotel staying it has parking. This actually equates to 5 spaces which the staff use. Anyone arriving in the summer, or with mobility issues could find themselves unable to park
