We had a delicious meal and I would recommend the restaurant
Franceexcellent breakfast. friendly and helpful staff. ample parking.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is well presented and tidy, right along the seafront. It was quiet with no noticeable noise between rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is free parking available behind the hotel although it isn't tarmac so it may not appeal to all. Rooms of a reasonable size and comfortable. Shower water pressure is excellent. Seating area out the front is good for warmer days, and looks like it has patio heaters for colder days.
United KingdomThe breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The staff were very professional, friendly, polite and very accommodating. The place is very clean and the decor is pleasing. Having a bar on site was great
United Kingdomextremely nice staff. very clean and nice and excellent food.
United KingdomWe travelled from the North East to attend my mum's funeral the following day. We were so grateful to the hotel for being able to accommodate us in the current situation, Jamie was polite, maintained social distancing and had good protocols in place to protect us and himself. Hotel room was excellent, very clean, comfortable, well maintained and excellent value for money. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.
United KingdomVery polite and helpful staff. Clean and fresh room
United KingdomFantastic staff, was given an upgrade due to a late function booking and they didn’t want us to be disturbed. This was awesome as it was our 12th wedding anniversary treat. Suite was impeccably clean and a lovely view of the beach. Would definitely stay again 😍
United KingdomSpotless. Very tastefully decorated. Nothing “in your face” . Elegant dining. Beautifully prepared food. Home from home. The attention to detail showcases a very well run family hotel. Premier Inn eat your heart out - this is so much more homely.
United KingdomLovely breakfast choice. Comfy, cosy room, with nice bathroom.. Good menu with nice specials. Parking. Friendly staff. Each time I stay there are improvements. Thank you.
