A decent place
The friendly and helpful staff ensured I had a comfortable stay, the room was chilly one night, as the heating didn't work and the staff supplied a heater immediately, the shower was rather small but suited me fine, overall I got a good deal on the room and have no complaints, the hotel is clean & cosy.

Feels in need of modernisation - creaky floors, doors which shut with a bang, lift not working. But staff were friendly and the room very comfortable. For the (low) price, it was fine.

Clean friendly but needed a bit of TLC
Staff were friendly and very helpful, lovely sea view from room but room could have been better everything looked half finished needed a bit of TLC and lift was not working. Dinning room was beautiful and the whole hotel was clean. We didn’t pay a lot for hotel so really couldn’t complain would stay again but in different room.

The hotel needs a little TLC but the staff more than make up for that . Kim and her team give the hotel a fantastic, professional, efficient but more importantly a great welcoming family feel. Seldom have we been treated to such kindness and frienship. We cannot recomend this hotel enough. Kim, ian, sarah, laura , acacia, francis charley thankyou so much, see you all soon, good luck in all you do.

Few problems during the stay of 2nights. Window latch broken. No cold water out of the basin tap. Shower trickling. However although these issues arose the professional staff were fantastic. From the time we arrived till when we left, we were treated exceptionally well. Fantastic customer services!

My stay is based on a last minute £44 booking - value for money was 100% All staff were very friendly and pleasant. Room was clean and basic. My only negative was being a man over 6 foot it was almost impossible to use the toilet or shower. Unsure if all the en suites are that small, we had room 137. You have to sit on the toilet at an angle! Im sure would be fine for those 5"5 and under. Id book again for the same price.
