We had a lovely stay, was upgraded to sea view due to there been a room available. It was a lovely spacious room, the Christmas decorations are beautiful this time of year. Nice bar area. Only thing i missed this year was the Christmas Coctails, they didnt seem to do any. I feel they were nice treat before. But otherwise we really enjoyed it all. Including the pool gym and sauna area. Thankyou
Value for money. Great hotel with really helpful staff. Near the beach front anf town centre

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff were nice and the place was great, the hotel is a bit old but we don’t mind old and quirky, It was a shame that the swimming wasn’t included for guests but we will be back again.
Excellent location- love this hotel. We go a few times a year. Love that it’s Pet friendly.
Only downfall- Disappointed at this visit as we are regular to the hotel it wasn’t as clean as usual.
