Family weekend stay

Excellent location and great value for the price paid. Old building but very tidy and polite and friendly staff. Lovely sea view from the window and room was very spacious.
Nazratun, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok for what we needed, 12 blokes on a golfing trip don't have sophisticated tastes. My biggest complaint was parking, on the first night we couldn't find anywhere to legally park within half a mile, but after about 7pm, we moved our cars right outside the hotel for free parking till 8.00 the next morning
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old building facing the sea, very quiet inside & outside, just 16 mins walk to town
Gail, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location close to town centre and beach. Room was basic but sufficient if it's just somewhere to sleep,as it was for us. Only problem was the shower which took a while to get up speed. Had to lay shower head in the tray to get full flow!
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was friendly and helpful, but the front of the building was shabby and the photo online was nothing like the live version. There were no mixer taps in the sink in the very small bathroom.the shower screen needed Double DD40 for it to slide properly and the balcony was dirty and should be swept. Refurbishment is needed, apart from that, the hotel is in a lovely location, and if it is renovated i would certainly book again, and so say all of us in our group that booked
dfas, 1-night trip
