Michael, United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly and helpful from the start.

Victoria, United Kingdom

The welcome was lovely and friendly. The room was comfortable and the hotel was right near the bus stop where we had to get our coach from. The breakfast was really lovely and lots of tea. The food not over cooked just right. Generous portions . Very accomadating to our needs. Made us tea and toast very early in the morning when we were leaving and we could buy a pack up which helped on our journey home. All in all a good experience. Like staying with family.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

All the staff were extremely friendly/helpful and made us feel at home unfortunately

Steven, United Kingdom

Friendly staff. A warm welcome when we arrived. The seafront and beach was just 5 - 6 minutes walk from the hotel. We had a day of unseasonably cold weather - and the heating kicked in. An unusual feature in mid September! Room was quite big, as was the bathroom. Excellent shower!! Restaurant staff at breakfast were extremely efficient despite serving HORDES of coach holiday makers under tight time constraints.

I was disappointed with the bathroom and general condiiton of the furnishings considering the price per night. Compared it to the place i stayed the night before for half the money.
The owners are sooo welcoming and would do anything you ask which is lovely.

“I will remember it for a long time to come.”

- • Stayed 1 night
The bathroom was old and grotty, the water pressure in the cold tap was very low. Shower awful, hardly any water and the wrap-around shower curtain stuck to me as it must have to previous occupants. No information in the file in the bedroom apart from life-story of family members including the dog. Hotel actually lists toilet paper as an amenity. The toilet paper was of the poorest quality; very thin! This hotel seems to be aimed at bus trips of very old people who like Bingo.
Good friendly service at breakfast

"Dinner is between 6:30 and 7:30". "Can I book a table for 7:00?" "Best turn up at 6:30, you could go to 6:45". Basically Dinner is for a one hour period with breakfast being similar. Parking could also be an issue but is classic for this style of hotel with the limitations of the resort.
The staff were very friendly and helpful from the start.

The hotel was a bit shabby but the positives more than compensated the negative. Also to update a hotel that size would be expensive.

Sharing hotel with HORDES of coach holiday makers. It was not a problem, but not what I would have chosen to do had I known beforehand. Room cleaning was a bit variable. Most days excellent - one day poor. Breakfast was obviously a mass produced product - best described as just OK. Soggy toast and very weak tasteless coffee being the worst of it.
Friendly staff. A warm welcome when we arrived. The seafront and beach was just 5 - 6 minutes walk from the hotel. We had a day of unseasonably cold weather - and the heating kicked in.
