10/10 Exceptional

Lovely holiday!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Very clean room, just needed to request extra pillows, which were provided and made sleeping much easier. Quiet room, wonderful sounds of seagulls in the morning. A lovely view of the sea through one window! So pleasant, and a great location!

2/10 Poor

Awful. Paid £340 for two nights. Business clearly has no money. We were the only guests there! Pool closed, no sunloungers, no toiletries in bathroom, sweltering hot room - no fans. Mentioned to the owner about being disappointed the pool was closed and he pointed at the sea and joked “there’s your pool” Left a day early and expected (at the very least) two breakfasts and two dinners that we’d paid for to be refunded but after chasing three times was just ignored. Only redeeming factor was that the reception and restaurant staff were very nice.

This hotel was exactly what we wanted - QUIET!!! The windows were open at night and all we heard were the waves and the birds. I never sleep through the night, but the time we were here - I slept straight through every night!! Amazing! Staff were brilliant and helpful and your restaurant staff treated us like family. Highly recommend your hotel.

Very friendly staff and great location. Best rooms balcony seaview. The hotel has a good facilities but it is dated. A bit more maitenance and tidying up would make it an excellent hotel. We didn't have the evening meal but the breakfast, full English was good apart from the sausages and scrambled eggs! We would return.

The property was clean, but for the cost of as not great value for money. Room was hot - no air conditioning. Breakfast selection of hot food good, but no fresh fruit, pastries, etc. limited and a place to sleep…

Has pros & cons, but would consider staying again

Bed linens and towels were fresh, clean, and comfy. However, the shower had hairs in it, and there were two dropped pens on the floor under the desk - suggesting that it doesn't get cleaned thoroughly... The bathroom was good but bedroom fixtures could use updating. Staff were wonderful, location is great. I guess you get what you pay for, it was cheaper than most other places, overall was good and would consider staying again.

I am happy with everything, but cleaning and changing the bed sheets need everyday, but we see cleaner only when we are leaving the room’s, need to put more tea and coffee’s. for the guests. Otherwise Good .

6/10 Good

Lovely reception staff. Rooms in need of modernising. Eg windows need replacing, squeaky floorboards, door not fitting properly so light comes in at night & generally need updating. They were at least clean. Great location with lift to seafront opposite. Bar too expensive to try. Breakfast okay, bit more variety required

4/10 Fair

Very overpriced for what you get, too basic beware

Well, where to start? Please bare in mind this room is in a range of £160-£170 gbp per night... Let's point out the positives first. Positives: Large room, stunning view, great location, free parking, clean overall and nice members of staff. That's about it! Negatives: 1.Very noisy, you can hear people talking behind the wall. 2. Hotel itself have a hospital feel, it feels like it was converted into hotel rooms, but all very clinical. 3. No ventilation whatsoever, no air-conditioning, very hot in the rooms, so you will have to sleep with open windows (not enough oxygen even with all windows open) 4. No shower products provided (no shampoo, no shower gel) For £160 gbp per night it's unacceptable. 5. No fridge, so any drinks in this room will get very warm 6. No proper coffee in the whole hotel! You will get a sachet on instant coffee and a kettle (shocking for the asking price) 7. Very late check in, you won't be able to get your room until 3pm, it's a half of the day gone! and very early check out, you will have to leave at 10am, straight after your breakfast. Any hotel at this price range will be 2pm check-in and 12 afternoon check-out with optional later check-out. 8. No hangers anywhere in the bathroom, your clothes on a floor. 9. Very poor breakfast. One item each, barely enough for a child to eat! No proper coffee, instant terrible quality coffee - sorry it's undrinkable! Won't stay there again. Only if no options available, maximum 1 night stay hotel.

The bedroom was tired, dated and unclean with stains on the carpet and dust on the shelves. The shower curtain was dirty and the bath mat disgusting. However the bed was comfortable and tea and coffee facilities were good. The balcony, i am not sure was particularly safe.

Dampener on holiday.

Hotel was situated in a great location for all local attractions and bus services. First impression was ok. Room was dated, floor uneven in places, bathroom basic flooring split and sink cracked. Facilities eg swimming pool no towels available even though we were told would be . The bar was ok but had to wait to be served 10 mins + at times as not always manned. They changed the time for breakfast till 9am for self drive guests as coach party in and short staffed. We were there for 7nights and our room was never cleaned even though we asked at reception for our bins to be emptied a couple of times. We asked for our towels to be changed half way through the week they took the dirty towels away but never replaced them even after asking at reception 3 times so had to go out that evening without showering after been out for the day. They eventually brought 2 small towels late that evening.

A Nightmare Stay: Dirty, Noisy, and Uncomfortable

One of the bottom three worst places we have ever stayed. We booked two nights, in an ocean view family room, and the view is the only thing that can't be faulted. The moment you leave reception the tiredness of the hotel hits you, dirty carpets, 1970s decor, stair edging loose. Upon reaching the room, the handle half comes off in my hand. The room is two single beds either side of a double bed. One wall is old built in wardrobes with a bashed up desk in the middle, very 70s/80s. It's incredibly stuffy. Not paradise but we could live with this for 2 nights. But then night time .... The mattress' are covered with pebbles, so it would seem, not nice. The walls/ceilings/floors paper thin and we are kept awake by other occupant's late night drinking and other "night time activities". And it's still so stuffy!! We didn't risk breakfast, the restaurant showed no signs of being open anyway, although we were advised it would be. We left after one night, booking up a night in a hotel round the corner (which was lovely) and upon clearing our stuff found a former occupant's dirty sock and a cap. We informed reception of everything and the staff member on duty was very apologetic and gave us a comment form we filled in. The manager, not so. He grumbled something about "oh we could of moved you" (yeah let's up and move a family at 2am) then scurried off somewhere leaving the receptionist to handle it. No offer of a refund of the second night we didn't stay.

Awesome hotel clearly in need of renovations but we loved the view and it suited our purpose for the price. The waiter at breakfast and hotel receptionist were friendly and welcoming. Check in and parking no problem.

We had a good stay! (4 nights)

On the whole defo 5*! Great location and views. Very friendly staff. Has Indoor swimming pool and we had Breakfast included. Has a bar / lounge area and a welcome feel. Will mention rooms and hotel are a bit dated and onsite parking but limited. But I don’t think they pretend to be a modern hotel.

The hotel is in poor condition. The photos on the website are very misleading. The room had poor decor. Communal areas need updating and cleaning. However, staff were friendly and helpful.

Our experience

On arrival to the hotel it was a pretty foyer we were dealt with quickly but not personally ie how are you today how far have you come,our bedroom was dated but the veiws were amazing,we were half board food was above average and presentation was good service was good but no one really in charge of a young team so no consistency we were also segregated from the other guests which was very noticeable it was very apparent the the hotel has been take oven recently and there were different owns to parts of the business with in the hotel which didn't gel together for a full experience of been on holiday and being look after but they were very conscientious in there areas there was alot of work going on but it didn't interfere with us using all amenities and l believe it will be lovely when it is finished , on day of check out l request my breakfast early 8.am to enable me to make my travel home ,bus ferry,train but the reception could grant this and didn't seem to want to then on check out it was nonexistent just told to leave key on the desk ,so on whole there was so great thing but also something to think about l wish you great success
Alana, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Definitely not deserving of 3 stars!!!

I will start with the best thing I can say. I was allowed to check in early at 9am after explaining that i was feeling unwell and for that I gave service 2 stars. My room was very disappointing. It did not match photographs online. The carpet was dirty and very worn, the paint on all the furniture was chipped and they didn't bother to put on a valance sheet on the singe bed; the base box was visable. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. I left with a severe back and neck pain. The room was cleaned before I arrived and housekeeping attended after the first night. However, they did not attend after the second night, the only thing that was cleaned was the bin. The balcony was dirty on my arrival and I had to clean the chairs myself to sit. The railing of the balcony was unsecured and thwre were workmen next to my windows, so I did not feel comfortable opening the drapes all the way during the day. Breakfast was a stressful process, the wait to be seated and served was very long, food arrived cold. Some of the cups on yhe table were not clean and I could not drink tea or coffee at all on the first day. I expalined to the staff on the first day that I was not comfortable and would like a room change and was ignored. Overall the hotel seems to be in a state of disrepair. I am very disheartened I try to avoid chain hotels when I can and support local but this will make me rethink that.
Mahalia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

After spending one night at this hotel, I ended up with bright red itchy spots all over my body. I don’t know if it was bed bugs, but they definitely ate not mosquito bites. The room is incredibly outdated. The room door lock has paint chipping and peeling. There was a step into the bathroom, which looked quite bizarre. The bathroom floor was wallpapered and the wallpaper was starting to bubble up and peel off, it was also very creaky and made sounds with every movement. Parking was free but it was a nightmare. It took me at least 15 minutes to get out of my parking space. It was back and forth making tiny micro-adjustments until I was able to get out. The only perk to the hotel is the location, but there are plenty of other hotels located on the same road/a couple roads down.
