We were very Happy overall with our stay.

The Location was excellent. The food was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The Hotel is old and could do with a bit of an uplift.

lovely spot but needs sufficient chef and kitchen staff to cater for summer and bank holiday footfall

nice room good bed good location

waited 1 hour to place a food order and eventually left premises and had an apache pizza in the car. staff peddling the “3 functions so a delay on food orders” nonsense. management needed to take control and set patrons straight. hire summer staff for the kitchen, offer a complimentary glass of wine or fizzie drink to appease patrons waiting unnecessarily to eat.

Birthday break

Central with a good car park across from it..great walks and big park if you have kids .good beach is 5 mins away and town also just 5 mins walk.. breakfast was very tasty best I've eaten in a long time and spotless in my room...

.Staff could do with smiling a bit more especially at Breakfast time. My room was lovely but very warm could do with some air conditioning especially the front rooms as sun just shines in and with window still no air gets in..I think it's more suited for older people.but very good restaurant.

Very pleasant stay! Would highly recommend!

Breakfasts were excellent! Loved everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the food was amazing and the location was great and so central to all sorts of beautiful beaches, sites and drives etc.

Only niggle was the little shelf on the wall to the left of the basin (room 156, double bed) that was hard not to bump when getting out of the shower / bath. It could be placed somewhere else. Also could hear guests' movements(!) in room above ours.

Superb

.All the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was exceptionally clean and the food was excellent. A perfect location for walks along the beach, which is only a 2 minute walk away

The only thing we didn't like was the middle aged blonde haired woman in the black suit who seemed to be the manageress in the evenings. She seemed to talk to all the locals but just ignored the guests. She didn't make us feel very welcome
