Property was quiet, a bit of noise from, other guests but only to be expected. This is quite a large hotel but we visited in February so I cannot vouch for what it is like in summer. Location is good and is convenient for beach, supermarkets and public transport. The staff we dealt with were efficient and friendly. We would visit again.

Lovely relaxing break. Food and service were excellent. Enjoyed the leisure centre although it has to be said that the pool area and changing rooms badly need upgrading. We would certainly consider a return visit.

It was not what I was expecting especially for breakfast. You know when you get a feeling when walking into a room. It was like an atmosphere of someone dying. Google maps was taking me to the petrol station next door. I think I went on the wrong day. Not even customers are friendly booking in. Luckily it was just for one night

Curling rink below the hotel was a novel thing! EV charging in the car park for overnight (slower) charging was helpful.

Pleasantly surprised
Friendly staff, very accommodating for our requests. Instant hot water was an absolute bonus for us. Rooms were spacious and clean. Pool, sauna, hot tub, gym and games room facilities are old but well equipped and in working order. Lovely art gallery and shop inside. We would absolutely return here 😄 only downfall was the room we were in didn't have a safety deposit box, which would have been helpful.
