This is a lovely hotel with a pleasant, relaxed vibe and friendly staff. The drinks and dining area seemed popular. The hotel overlooks the Bandstand so if you're lucky you'll get a free show. Having a fan supplied in the room was a godsend as it got very hot and stuffy, but in mid summer not much can be done about that.

Our double Seaview room was amazing, very clean and spacious. Dinner in the Sun Lounge, and breakfast in the restaurant was very good also. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable occasion for my Mums 85th birthday. We will definately be returning in the near future.
