    Booked two rooms to be near family, we were at opposite ends of the building. Windows in both rooms were poorly maintained. One window was broken, did not close so could hear noise from outside all night, and other room windows were heavily scratched on all panes. Not quite a sea view as blocked by other buildings. Only one member of staff on reception and on breakfast duty, so felt understaffed.

    Old fashioned atmosphere and proximity to seafront. Comfortable bar area.

    The room was not serviced during our visit apparently this is a regular occurrence. The restaurant was closed on the Sunday evening and we had to go to another hotel, we were not informed of this until we arrived for our meal

    The room was large and comfortable and the access was easy and appeared to be well maintained

    We don’t enjoy the tea and coffee in the room and also the coffee in the coffee machine in the restaurant either. This could do with changing to a better brand

    We enjoyed the room, and location and the breakfast was lovely

    Friendly staff . The room was clean but dated . The bed was uncomfortable. The room was warm . We had a drink in the bar , staff was friendly ,prices good .

    The position was great . We had the evening meal, which was just about edible . It didn't look enticing as was the choice . It was a buffet style meal with very few options . We both had the fish, which was OK. But the salad choice looked poor, but it was fresh. If that was the normal meal standard, I wouldn't eat in again . I didn't have the breakfast .

    There was rubbish on the balcony - old razor and drinks can. Needed cleaning as not very pleasant to look at. Although most of the breakfast was nice, it had been sitting about awhile so the eggs were rubbery.

    Comfortable room and satisfactory facilities. Nice clean bathroom and good bath and shower. Breakfast was mostly good, plentiful and good choices, but see below…… Good to have parking on site.

    Breakfast was blooming awful. Ran out of all hot items and had to wait 20 mins, then ran out of plates. Seemed to be one person working in the kitchen on a bank holiday weekend. People left their dogs in their bedrooms whilst they went to the bar so dogs were yapping. Requires some work outside as looks very tatty.

    The room was lovely. Couldn’t see out of window as was ab the back of the hotel. A lot of dogs. One of which was ours but you couldn’t tell a god had been in the room before us.
