The location is excellent to access the town and the beach. The spa facilities were good but the jacuzzi wasn't working. The food was good but not much of fruit options. The dinner prices were expensive. The room was cleaned, quiet and I could rest.

Great place to stay when wanting to be close to the beach, short walk of 10mins. Beautiful little garden in centre of hotel. Swimming pool etc facilities were good enough for the time we had. Polite and helpful staff, especially at breakfast. Only downside is could do will a refurb as bit dated, or at least replace carpets as smelt musky around the hotel and corridors, and room. Other than that i would visit again

Enjoyable stay, lovely to have the pool and spa. Breakfast was good too. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were very flat. The bathroom was huge but the limescale in the sink was a bit off putting. Staff all very friendly.

Hotel 3*

Basic hotel. Room was clean and functional but corporate looking. Soulless. Breakfast was basic too. Wanted to eat in the hotel restaurant but it was completely empty on a bank holiday weekend so that was a red flag. Location perfect but parking first come first served. Will not stay again.
