Lovely stay. Only concern was the slowness of staff to clear tables in the bar area and dining room. Would walk past your table empty handed and not pick anything up.

Lovely Stay

Lovely clean room with Superking bed, good size ensuite and sea view. Good quality TV but no On demand channels which are usually standard in these type of hotels now. Breakfast was generally good apart from the cheap, tasteless bread. Dinner in the hotel was of a high standard. Overall a lovely stay and we would return here.....

Lovely weekend stay

Lovely room with a small fan provided in the hotter weather days. Comfortable room but was expecting a double bed instead of two twin beds pushed together. Great service throughout our stay.

A Large pub with rooms

We were looking forward to this short break But this was the first and last visit , seaview room ok and clean , but pub hotel let down by staff with no customer service skills and very rude even , check in was quick with no smile or chat and most bar staff very rude . Left hotel in morning and passed about 5 members of staff not one spoke even when we left our key. I suggest you get a Manager to oversee a busy pub with rooms . Parking ok and beach nice

Relaxing break

We went for a family celebration. Staff very friendly, although service was quite slow at times; they didn't seem to have sense of efficiency, as if new staff learning the ropes. Didn't matter for us because on this occasion, we didn't have a schedule. Food was delicious, fresh, full of flavour and decent portions (and we loved the homemade skin-on chips, so refreshing)
