Restful stay

A good restful stay. Really good location - walk down hill and get a taxi back up. Parking a slight issue but not a deal breaker. Rooms need updating but it is a standard seaside hotel. Best part of this hotel is the views - they are top notch.

Good for Room 181. Very BAD for Room 147. Overall the Hotel is not bad. Located in a convenient location, walking distance to high-street. Hot spa for only £10 per person. I've booked 2 rooms. One is clean and tidy, the other is noisy and dirty. The room seems on top of the kitchen with hot air coming up. The staff rejected my request for changing room. She said that the hotel was fulled. At the end, she only provided a fan on request.

We booked this hotel as a last mimute thing for a surprise weekend away for a burthday.The hotel was spotless. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel had some amazing views and lovely gardens. We didn't get to use the spa as only there from a Saturday to Monday so can't comment on that, both the restaurant and galaxy lounge were lovely. Good food. Overall a really lovely hotel and we will definitely be returning.

Room for improvement

Good location. My welcome was on the brusque side of efficient, my room small but adequate, but as seems usual with single rooms, was out back overlooking the bins. With a bit of cosmetic updating this place could be a real gem and I would stay again. The listing states ‘pool’, but when I asked about this at the hotel I was told it wasn’t a swimming pool but a plunge pool in the spa (for which you have to pay extra). So slightly misleading in my opinion.
