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.

Fantastic location right on the seafront. Easy parking, friendly staff. Restaurant is pleasant, food is average but reasonably priced. Rooms are comfortable- furniture is slightly tired. Tip - sea view rooms have a wonderful view

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
