    I was there for 3 nights and had socks,t-shirts, underwear with only a shelf to store them. Not adequate and difficult to store suitcase. Cooked breakfast clearly prepared in advance but ordered/delivered as if just cooked. May as well have self-service .

    Room very clean and recently redecorated . Good dinner, bar area kept clean & tidy.

    The reception area always smells of food- when we arrived it was fishy ☹️ The breakfast service was slow, appreciate you could fresh but felt our order had been forgotten. Evening meal was fab in the restaurant

    Check in requires a physical card which many people do not have, as it’s in phones. Luckily I could cover my friends.

    For our second stay in a row the room was not properly cleaned from the previous visitors. There were used glasses still in the room and crisps on the floor.

    We have stayed here many times over the years and the staff are always helpful and just like the overall feel of the place.

    Staff unattended upon arrival at reception despite notified to inform when we would arrive. They didn’t apologise or offer a complimentary drink for waiting around 15 mins. However they made up for this with wine glasses for my own bottle of wine and a late check out in the morning.

    Nice stairs, beds, good location. Cafe staff were very friendly and helpful

    The dining area facing the sea is wonderful for breakfast although I find the breakfast itself slightly disappointing. I had to ask for a milk alternative , no dairy free yoghurt. The small pastries had been over cooked & you could grow old waiting for the toaster

    The room was a great size and this time the curtains were in good condition ( previous visits the blinds were falling off the windows). The room & bathroom were really clean & the shower had good water pressure. The bedroom laundry crisp & fresh. Tea & coffee facilities available. TV was in a good position and I enjoyed a good undisturbed sleep

    Breakfast was substantial but parts of it under cooked and parts overcooked- it was also lukewarm. Plenty of it . Apart from the large group of people who took over the bar then came to the restaurant and proceeded to shout over everything and everyone with bad language which the manager came and dealt with asking them to keep the noise down and then we could hear arguments occurring just beneath out room at a later time.

    Staff were excellent helpful quick to respond and very polite evening meal was very good

    Bit overpriced for what it was. We had no hot water to wash, which was tough being a single parent on a a short break with 2 children and not able to ring reception directly as no phones in the room to call for help.

    Our room on the ground floor was large enough for 4 people but only three cups in room and only 3 little tea bags and sugar sachets. The bathroom was tiny, just a shower no bath. Some of the finish is old and stained and paint cracking. I’m sure such a place takes a lot of maintenance but it needs more. In the restaurant the server handed our daughter (10 yrs) a dinner plate directly into her hands. It was hot and she cried. Server showed no concern whatsoever- which was upsetting. Her hands were red but didn’t blister so we didn’t complain but this was upsetting. Some of the outside areas are dirty and perhaps unused as yet- just chairs piled up. Would be nicer to look at if it was clean and tidy.

    Location of the property is lovely right by the beach. We had stayed here before about 10 years ago so was looking forward to returning. It has had a lick of paint since then and the bar area/restaurant redone. I like the blue colour scheme.

    Not being able to see out of the window & not having a chair.

    My room was comfortable but I did not like not being able to see out of the window. It made me feel trapped.
