Stayed here for 4 days. The property is about to be renovated and is very dated. But you get what you pay for. Great location, great views of the sea and beach. Difficult to get into the bathroom due to narrow opening between entrance and the shoer. But the shower is excellent. Well worth it for the money we paid. But renovation is literally about to start as of March 2026.

Lovely views, room came with hair and body wash, bathroom was slightly small but worked for me and my cousin as we went for a couple days away, however the body wash gave her a really bad allergic reaction but no “ingredients” on the dispenser so not sure what to look out for! If you have sensitive skin or any allergies definitely be careful! Our 3 days there no one came and “topped up” any of our tea/coffee station! Staff were lovely.

Simple check in, check out process. Difficult to find using Google maps, parking and access to main parking unclear but managed to get a space at the front of the building.

Lovely location opposite the beach , clean room but hotel needs update all over , carpets doors and wall showing age , did not eat in hotel as close to lovely town centre , the shower had little pressure no way could shower properly , we only stay one night so was adequate for what we needed. Small double room very cramped and heating was super hot , had to open window , then had road noise from back road .

This hotel is worn out. The reception staff were not particularly friendly and didn’t tell us that there was no room service unless you asked for it by 10.00am.After the first day of no room service we complained and the next day it was done. However, they still didn’t tell us that we had to request it, so the next day it also wasn’t serviced.We’ve never encountered this before. Also, the stair carpet leading to our room was not cleaned in the four days that we stayed. We know this because there was a leaf on one of the steps when we checked in and it was still there when we left. The only redeeming feature was the breakfast and that was good.This is not the standard that we expected and we will never stay there again.

Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome; hotel in a great location and the room was spacious with a wonderful view, specialist diet/allergies catered for on the varied breakfast menu. Clearly the hotel is being refreshed under new management for 2026. We managed to park each time, but imagine it could be more difficult in high season when things are busier.

The room was adequate for my needs. Clean and basic but had all I needed. Had breakfast the first morning which was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay again.

The room was tired and dated. Windows need replacing as you could hear every car go past. Heating was too hot and on full whack you could save money here. Water pressure was awfully low. Breakfast was very good, service brilliant but the kitchen door was banging every time and you could hear this even from the bedroom! Hurt our ears to listen our room was 110. You should consider a swing door for the kitchen! Wouldn’t return, but the hotel has so much potential the view is stunning and here’s hoping now it’s been taken over you’ll be able to succeed with a refurbishment

The water took forever to get warm ish - never had a hot shower. Staff was limited, but friendly. We asked for clean towels on our way out in the morning; they never arrived…we picked them up ourselves at the front desk, after dinner.

Room 102 lovely but very tired, peeling paint, mould and a year of dust in the bathroom, dressing and bed area clean, very draughty by the beautiful windows, sash cords missing but they do provide a lump of wood to keep window open if needed, also thick in dust peeling paint and mould …. Stains on the carpet and walls… needs a lot of money spent on it, breakfast was fine, some nice staff others couldn’t be bothered… perfect location!! Would I stay again? Yes , but would take some cleaning products
