Very lovely staff, clean rooms and convenient location. Great basic gym and the spa facilities were an added luxury. The only negative was the breakfast - the toaster was set on so hing it burned the toast in one round and the healthy fresh options were non-exixtent. The breakfast is not worth paying for for any plant-based people.

Lovely hotel close to the beach

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Staff were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the area. Situated near the beach, it was about 2 min walk to the beach and another 5 mins to the pier. We used the pool and facilities which were nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely and staff quick and attentive to clear dishes away.

Martin

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Our room was in an annexe away from main hotel very dated rooms basic pillows wafer thin. Temperamental TV. Breakfast buffet not like photos the reality is tinned prunes tinned peaches,hard bread, cereals topped up ontop of old cereal, hot food ok but tinned mushrooms, thick chewy bacon and sausages that could go threw a tank. For the price dont restrict yourself theres better cafes outside we ate it twice on our stay and disappointed both times. Swimming pool was nice but think they may be selling memberships to non residents as it was busy and certainly not for relaxing good if you want to do lengths. Once again needs a good refurbishment. Hotel looks good but there certainly is better for less. Disappointing!!

The location is excellent to access the town and the beach. The spa facilities were good but the jacuzzi wasn't working. The food was good but not much of fruit options. The dinner prices were expensive. The room was cleaned, quiet and I could rest.
