The hotel was great very big and spacious, wonderful staff including the cleaning crew who did our room. Breakfast was buffet full english with cereals pastries and fruit options. The only down side for our stay was the pool is smaller than the photos lead you to believe and the lift is always busy (but this isnt anything the gotel can do anything about) theres 4 floors and alot of guests. Neither of this things stopped us enjoying our nreak away ..we were on the top floor in a family room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay Theres a lovely walk to the beach and we could even see the sea from our window

For the price you pay, you expect a better standard of hotel. It looks very dated and in need of improvements. The bathroom was tiny, as was the swimming pool and car park. There was no fridge in the room. Breakfast was good but items kept running out and you needed to wait.

Needs attention to facilities communication

The hotel staff were very friendly and nice. However the hotel could do with more updating especially in the bathrooms. The bedding eg pillows and duvets and mattresses are heavily stained under the sheets and should be replaced more often. There was no hot water on the last day and no offer of explanation or apology for the situation for guests. The spa facilities are much smaller than they appear in the photos and the pool water was filthy. Breakfast was very nice as a positive.

Quite a mixed clientele at the hotel. Our room was large and comfortable with sir conditioning. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Only downsides were parking at £15 per bay but if you moved your car after paying there was a strong possibility you didn’t have a space on return. Our room was quite noisy for a Tuesday night with what seemed to be a disco quite near( don’t think it was in the hotel).
