    The staff were really friendly & helpful. The lounge facilities were excellent. The restaurant & breakfast/ dinner were very good.

    Accessibility was poor, father in wheelchair. Outside wheelchair lift broken , my husband had to keep lifting electric wheelchair up steps and father struggled up steps. lifts in hotel tiny could only just get wheelchair in with difficulty. Only access was in basement which you had to use with staff as locked and very dingy.

    Lovely breakfasts and nice lounges. Very clean

    Bathroom was very warm.

    Great location and brilliant staff. We took our four-legged friend, and she had as good a time as we did. Splendid breakfast choice, and we found the beds very comfortable. We found that nothing was too much trouble for the staff here, which made our stay so much more enjoyable. Loved almost stepping from the hotel to the beach.

    The room was very small with a small single bed that was not very comfortable. I have stayed in B and Bs where given a double-bed for 1 person. Bathroom also tiny with dim lights and shower was in the bath, would prefer a walk-in shower.

    Very helpful lady at reception for whom nothing was too much trouble. Nice buffet breakfast although could be more generous with toast as only served one slice and asked for more but when asked they brought more.

    Individually the staff were great, but they were badly managed - the restaurant was chaotic while the supervisors were there, and ran smoothly when they were missing! The pillows were hard which meant we slept poorly. Possibly a bit expensive for what it was - but probably in line with other local good hotels.

    This is an older style seaside hotel - spotlessly clean and with old-fashioned service. The lounges were comfortable. The bedroom (sea view) was huge. There was no noise from the public areas at all in our room. It's a good location between the pier and the calmer western end of the resort. Not too bad for public transport.

    Wifi drops, but you can get other wifi through reception Some small ventilation noise from other hotel. The windows could be better isolated maybe. But, all in all, we certainly recommend it

    Hotel with character. Some small things might not be perfectly comfortable, but it is a very enjoyable experience. Personel is absolutely great. I remember Rose (breakfast manager) but also other staff are very very kind. This is not a standard hotel you easily forget. It has a lot of charm.

    Having to change rooms.

    There was a problem with the TV in my original sea facing room so I was moved to another room but unfortunately that room was facing the back of the building, and the sounds of early morning deliveries and collections was disturbing.

    Breakfast was lovely but could have done with some fresh breads. Only offered a sliced pan.

    First time being in a hotel with a few dogs around. It was very sweet and well done. Lovely for people who consider their dog an important family member.
