Its overall a lovely area however Our room faced the car park at the back of the hotel so quite noisy with peoplecoming and going . The bathroom was clean but cracks down the side of the bath and a bit shabby . The kettle in the room unfortunately was on for over half an hour and didnt boil only got slightly warm so no hot drink to go with the complimentary biscuits. Only stayed 1 night but don't think we would stay again.

We have stayed here twice now - and was more then pleased with everything on the first visit, on the second we had a room facing the car park and not the marina as last time, so that was a little bit disappointing. Also a gas pipe on the wall outside kept making noise thruout the night.

Well, what can I say! I booked this hotel because it had good reviews but I do not know who had stayed here. The room we were given smelled of damp, the bathroom was not serviced properly and there was no bath. The lady at reception apologised and sent someone to look at the room. We were then upgraded to a better room and this was better although there was no milk for the tea and coffee and the space between the bed and the window wall was so narrow my husband could hardly get down there to go to bed. Breakfast was a nightmare, as the buffet was set out in such a small space it was impossible to move to get at the food. The cooked breakfast was barely warm and other foods were running out. We have decided not to come to this hotel again but to go to the one next door.
