Fantastic location for visiting family, staff very helpful, room was very clean and had everything I needed
Only slight problem was no heating the first night!
Had a wonderful one-night stay here. The hotel facilities were top-notch and made the short trip feel like a real treat. Everything was well maintained, clean, and convenient. I’d gladly return for a longer stay next time.
The staff were amazing, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The location is very close to the sea, which gives the hotel a real resort-like atmosphere. The room was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed our stay.
Hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful . The hotel was clean and well maintained however the swimming pool side was a bit run down and quite small.

Staff were wonderful and the room was very clean. Air con and the coffee maker in the room didn't work. Breakfast was good, though cooked section was limited.
Would stay again for the price.
Property was welcoming and great staff. Room was ok but skirting boards need to be deep cleaned in the room we were in. Other than that it was a good hotel although parking was very difficult due to minimum spots for such a large hotel.
We stayed for one evening,the hotel was busy as it was a Saturday but staff were polite and helpful.
Our room was on the ground floor,large with a flush floor shower Generally clean although thick dust on lights and shades.
We paid for breakfast on the day,the cooked is £16.99 which our friends had.We had the continental at £9.99 each,it was nice but disappointed as only pastries avaliable were croissants but others were on the menu,also no ham again on menu.
Parking is a challenge but £5 to park overnight was well worth it.
This was a lovely the hotel was clean, beds comfy and the facilities were brillaint

Staff friendly and room nice and location to dockyard good.
However we booked the hotel specifically on the basis of it having a swimming pool. After a long drive this was something we were looking forward to. However swimming pool closed for the duration of our two night stay and also no air conditioning in the room. No offer of refund or discount based on the lack of these amenities.
