A lovely relaxing stay. The hotel is located right on the beach with an out -door bar area where you can dine and look over the sea. My Room was very spacious and clean, the staff very friendly and atmoshere was relaxed. Brilliant breakfast, ! looking forward to returning and trying some water sports.

Hotel well situated but some problems with hit water, pressure and wifi.

Very reasonable rate for a room for one night; won’t fault the room or the bed, the bathroom was clean but very old, although the shower was better than I expected to be fair. Breakfast though - let the place down. No catering staff on view, fried eggs were probably over an hour old, the sausages were cooked well but were so solid they must have come straight from the freezer, the bacon, cooked toms and mushrooms saved an on the spot complaint because my “fresh” slice of bread had mould on it!

Absolutely not worth £185 a night, Very tired , poor old furniture, 1970 hotel, with 2025 price tag, shocking costs, £7 a pint robbery

The hotel is in need of major renovation! Damp smell and leaks everywhere, old unclean worn out furniture. I paid 220 for one night, was not worth it at all. I can’t understand how expedia can give 8 out of ten! Definitely not a four star. Staff were very nice. Overall very disappointed with our stay.

With the beach on one side and harbour on the other, this was a picturesque location. A fairly quiet area which was good. My room was a bit of a route march from the entrance but staff were great and i enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is right on the beach. We had a fantastic view of the sea from our room. Our room had everything we needed, although a little dusty in places. All in all a great stay.
