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

Fantastic hotel with lovely staff
The hotel is smart and the staff very friendly and welcoming. It's location is brilliant and my room on the 4th floor was lovely, as I was given a sea view.
Even though I will definitely stay here again, the pillows (all four) were very lumpy. I hope the hotel will invest in some new pillows before my next stay as I found it difficult to sleep on them. Putting this aside, my stay was great value for money, the hotel new and clean, my room warm and nicely decorated with a good shower and I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit selection at breakfast.

Took a very long time to check in - around 30 mins. Unable to provide invoice as printer not working. Room was cold, although did eventually get a heater. Room was very clean, bed comfortable. Good location. Limited on street parking.

Third time staying at the View in 4 months. The proximity to the water is wonderful. We had a room with a view of the water which was gorgeous. The bar also provides wonderful views of the water. The only thing to consider when having a room with a view is that you can hear people sitting outside the bar drinking. That can be loud at times. Overall though, it is a wonderful venue with friendly staff.

The stay was marred by the absence of a working lift which for octogenarians ruined the stay, and led to cancellation after 3 nights. Otherwise the hotel was reasonably good and the staff most helpful. The food was good although the evening menu was short and unchanging

The ensuite was tiny, however the room was lovely
