There were lots of staff who were all lovely and our dog was made very welcome. The food in the restaurant was simple but excellent quality and very good portions. Overall a very easy and pleasant stay with good value for money. There are some spectacular dog walks along the beach only a mile or so away. The only criticism could be that the heating was turned up very high

Liked: Cleanliness
The room is to a decent standard. The bed is comfortable and there was a good choice of pillows. This is a really strong start as many hotels are let down in this area. The bathroom was ok, nothing wrong and the shower water pressure was very good. However, the room was way too warm making sleeping difficult. That’s a personal thing and would be fine in normal circumstances as the window could be opened to let fresh air in. However, the rooms back on to where the bins are filled every evening by the staff, immediately waking you up if you managed to get to sleep. And then, at 6.45am, every morning, a delivery arrives or the bin lorry turns up and wakes you up. Why this is considered acceptable is beyond me! Fundamentally, this could be a decent hotel but it’s let down by things that, with a little care, would make things better. I wouldn’t stop again

I arrived on a motorcycle with the large carpark to choose from and found a little out of view corner to leave the bike over night and because the hotel appears isolated i wasn't bother about security too much. One enters the hotel through two automatic sliding doors which is a bonus when carrying bags and crash helmets. The first door opens in to a cosy vestibule with seating around a rather modern teardrop shaped lig burner that appears to drip from the ceiling, it would be a wonderful place to sit on cold evening. After signing in by friendly welcoming staff I found my room negotiating my way up the stairs and along the deep pile carpeted corridor to my room.
