The property was clean, in a lovely location and the staff welcoming, If I had to comment it would be that there was no hand towels and only 1 drinking glass in the room and the rooms were not sound proof in any way. Saying that we did enjoy our stay, it provided a perfect base for us.

Everything was good until we went down for breakfast. We didn't have much choice (although we went down about 9 am). They didn't have enough staff. Poor lady had to run around to top up the juice or the eggs.

It’s like returning home when we stay at The Dunes. Beautiful hotel with just the friendliest staff and at an affordable price. It’s a Pit stop for us this time, as our main holiday is in Northumberland but usually we would enjoy the little walk down the road to the exquisite national trust currently under threat beach - Roanhead.

It's a lovely place for a chilled getaway. Very nice and welcoming staff, great food and the place simply looks quality. Not a great deal to do in the area unless you have a car but theres plenty of nice walks to take.

Terrible terrible nights stay.

2 night stay here near the Lake District with my pregnant wife as we drive back from Scotland offered us the following: Bits on the floor at arrival, a very warm room I believe the radiators were on as they felt warm so turned to 0, an unforgiving and rock hard bed and the ability to hear everything the other guests were doing until 2 am including watching tv, talking, turning lights on and off and walking around and to top it off there was an obscenely bright light outside our window which made it so difficult to sleep, of course there was only one member of staff we found in the morning and he was busy with breakfast so we just left as we especially my pregnant wife were never going to attempt another dreadful night there. The staff we did encounter were very pleasant and helpful and we did have a great meal in the evening. Awaiting to see if I get a response from the hotel before I contact hotels.com.

Our stay was quiet and the property clean. We had the fortune to be looked after by Charlette who is a huge talent and benefit to the hotel. Unfortunately the breakfast were quite poor and the scrambled eggs grey and smelly. We also requested a room clean and had the sign out in the door but it want done. Good quiet location but I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

A brand new feel to the place with amazing staff, who couldn’t do enough for us and our fur baby. Excellent food that catered for all dietary requirements ( ie carnivore and vegan!) Gorgeous dog bed, bowls and treats provided for Winnie. Lovely location for a walk to a natural gem of a beach! We will be back. Thank you Dunes .

Food fantastic, room hygiene not so good..

Restaurant food fantastic, service poor as one young guy serving overworked. Room bed lining was dirty ! Mattress cover not covering mattress properly and damaged (reception sorted quickly though and gave 1 free breakfast). Bedroom lovely, bathroom very tatty and worn. Hotel was very quiet. Would still stay again though.
