Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Positives - large clean modern room and professional staff.
Negative - had to wait until check in time of 16:00 which seems very late for a Saturday night stay.
Staff were excellent, food was good, room was spotless.
Decent bar and prices, plenty of parking and right next to the seafront.
Definitely returning with friends.
Check in was good and pleased with the room.
What needs to improve is the breakfast and staff. Welcome staff hiding round the corner on phone. After asking did not tell us how breakfast worked. Several staff not doing alot, even when the coffee machine broke and would not manually make tea coffee! Had to wait over 10 to 15 mins.
Breakfast really let the place down especially when everything else was excellent.
As always the staff are brilliant. Room 202 has a sea view and was comfortable but is by the AC units and Kitchen extractor? So at times during the night was a bit noisy. Strangely we prefer the rooms over the Gardens.
An excellent stay at this hotel. Staff & facilities were very good. Sara on reception handled a small problem to our satisfaction with professionalism and we left after our break feeling very happy.

Great location. Lovely looking hotel and outside area very welcoming. Only criticism is 4pm check in time.
The hotel is in a lovely location next to the sea. You can enjoy long walks along the seafront. The staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, you cannot check in until 4pm..
