Gorgeous spot and perfect hotel

Absolutely loved my stay here, so much so that I’m planning on a return trip next month. I usually hate business trips but in this case I enjoyed my time away from home. Food was delicious and I loved watched the sea while I ate my meals. Room was cosy and immaculate. Special thank you to Housekeeping for everything they did!

Need more than 3 disable parking bays. Disagree with 10% service charge being added, even for just a coffee. The service is slow in the dining area. Food good but expensive. Overall we had a great stay and would go again at some point. Room was great with sea view Znd balcony. Couldn’t ask for better.

Beach location with great service and lovely food.

Had a lovely stay and thought the whole experience was great value for money. Every aspect of the service across reception, outdoor cafe and dining/breakfast room was really good. The quality of food also surpassed our expectations - I had a wonderful fruit & cinnamon warm scone with jam & cream that was totally delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised that there was a good choice of non-alcoholic drinks including a nice white wine. Our room was a little dated, but comfortable and clean and for the price we'd paid very good value. The location is perfect for a quiet seaside stay with the train station just round the corner. Would stay again and next time book some spa treatments.

Nice hotel. Staff very friendly. Room was nice if a little compact. Very clean. We had room 203 which was a dormer room so sloping ceilings. Not so good if your tall, particularly in the shower. Cant speak fo the other rooms though. Plenty of parking when we were there.

The hotel isn't living up to it's potential,the property is tired,it lacks personality,our room had frosted glass windows and whilst I didn't expect a view,you can normally look out and see the sky,however if you opened the windows you had a constant booming of I think the boiler and it looked grotty.The room was small but that was ok although the bed and pillows felt uncomfortable,the shower door didn't shut, the breakfasts at the hotel where very good as was the afternoon tea,however the evening meal was of poor quality lacking choice and what I'd describe as pub grub which is fine but not for a spa hotel.Check out wasn't great the receptionist started off bubbly and friendly but got grumpy with me as I pointed out that they'd over charged me,I wasn't rude neither was she,she just seemed grumpy.The staff in the restaurant where friendly,cheerful and helpful

Great place for a short break, hotel faces quiet shingle beach and has lovely patio with windbreak. Very clean throughout hotel, good service, good food too. Bar area rather cold and impersonal. Room well equipped, although few sockets for IT needs and not conveniently positioned. Also, whilst there was a great hairdryer provided, there was only one place where you could plug it close to a mirror - and the flex was only just long enough. Made hair drying a challenge.
