Friendly helpful staff. Lovely, comfortable beds and spotless bathroom. The breakfast was wonderful, toast machine, nice hot food that you can go and select yourself, lots of cereals, fresh juice and the staff even made my son his own jug of hot chocolate when we had tea and coffee. Would stay here again, very good.

“Our stay was ok but would probably book somewhere else next time”

It said there was parking with the hotel, which is why i booked it, but there isn't you have to park up a side road beside the hotel and its very rare that you will even get a space there. We tried to have dinner the day we arrived in the hotel but we couldn't because we had to book which is fine but there was loads of room in the restaurant. The reason been the chief didn't have enough food
The Staff were very helpfully and the family room we had was nice and big

Breakfast was hit and miss with availability of hot food, it wasn't replaced as it was being used and you had to return to buffet several times.
Views were great, quiet hotel no problem sleeping. Staff were helpful.

The parking was a big issue, on the website its described as free parking when In fact it's just a side road up a very steep hill next to the hotel and you lucky to get a space

The lifts where very small and you still had to go up or down some stairs after getting out of the lift so people with prams or wheel chairs struggled alot, it was a pain for us with cases we wasn't the end of the world.

Night staff, I got locked out of hotel one night, doors should have closed at 11:25pm, I arrived at Hotel at 10:45pm and was all locked up and I couldn’t get in until next morning. They did give me back my money for the night but it ruined my break. Also bar wasn’t open in the evening. I also booked an early morning call to get up early for ferry and I never got the call.
Food was good

The hotel was very busy at the time of my visit and there wasn’t enough staff to cover the bar so there was a long wait to be served. Currently there are major works on the promenade outside the hotel so parking is very difficult

Disappointing

Pretty much everything, very old decor, in poor repair in parts, room was cold and quite small for a family room
Very little, most of the staff were friendly but didn't have much interaction really.
