Very much enjoyed the spa (bonus that it's all included in price) Staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival and throughout Nice sized rooms and bathroom and nice and clean Breakfast was good (we liked the buffet style serving)

Alice, United Kingdom

Very friendly and informative staff, made our stay very relaxed. Excellent breakfast in comfortable and pleasant surroundings. The location was great with a 5 minute walk to the sea front and a short 10 minute walk to the town centre. The executive room with balcony was a bonus as we were blessed with lovely weather. Will definitely stay there again when back in the area

Heather, United Kingdom

The spa,pool etc was very clean and the massage was amazing but wasn't for the full 25 mins.

Bev, United Kingdom

The bed was huge and was really comfortable. The spa was really lovely and having free access to the pool was great! We asked for a bath and actually got one and it was really long which is nice as I'm very tall!

“A Pleasant stay but try and book the main hotel, and if you can avoid the Lodge”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉The Lodge was clean but noisy. The thin walls meant that you could hear everything in the room next to ours - and I mean everything! I would not recommend the Lodge to stay but the hotel itself was excellent. Beware .. parking is an absolute nightmare! They have a car park but nowhere near enough spaces which means they will expect you to double park and move it if required.
눇Lovely breakfast in the hotel and the food was good at Blakes restaurant

“A very pleasant and comfortable stay for a special birthday.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
눉Disabled toilet not checked regularly as I advised reception at 11 a.m that there was no paper in there OR in two of the ladies toilets. When I went to use disabled toilet at 4p.m. after a day out, STILL NO PAPER which lowered the overall, previously excellent impression. I went back to reception and insisted this be attended to immediately. Most establishments have a check chart in toilets but there was no evidence of any regular checks. Also, as 2 guests with limited mobility, we found the toilet in our room to be very low. One item we could have done with was a small fridge or a mini bar which seems the norm in most hotels we have stayed in, especially as weather was extremely hot during our stay (fortunately)
눇Beds very comfy and room very clean. Maitre'd Nick was excellent and ran a very efficient dining room. Arranged lovely table for my friend's special birthday. Nice to see a visible General Manager who continually checked efficient rubbing of all areas from car park to the Brasserie. Nothing was too much trouble. Gardens very pleasant, even for breakfast. Nice touch with a personal card for my friend with a voucher for 2 complimentary glasses of wine.

“nice hotel, good facilities, shame about the breakfast!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The cooked breakfast was a disappointment - very greasy (incl the scrambled egg!) and mostly tasteless, except for the poached egg which tasted of vinegar!
눇Good location with residents free parking, close to the beach and short walk to the pier . Food in the Brasserie (the only restaurant in the hotel open on a sunday night) very good, unlike the cooked breakfast. The Spa facilities (pool, jacuzzi, sauna) were enjoyable and the staff were polite and welcoming.

“It was fine. Nothing special. Just generally 'fine'.”
- • Leisure trip

눉It was fine. That sums it up. Clean etc and nothing majorly wrong, but nothing special, just generally 'fine'. We paid £175 a night which I'm gutted about because I was expected something much nicer for that. The Flora at breakfast was out of date, and when mentioned to the waiting staff they left the out of date Flora for other guests and only took away the ones on our table.
눇It has a jacuzzi, sauna and swimming pool. Lady on reception when we arrived was really nice.

눉Location, the surrounding area was cheap B&B type properties where bins and bin bags had not been emptied. The lodge seems to be opposite a woman's refuge where they congregate outside til the early hours being very loud. The rooms require updating. The hotel is overpriced.
