The room was very small and really could do with a paint. Wardrobe looked and felt like it was going to fall over, remote for TV didn’t work even after changing the batteries, lipstick on walls, mould and cobwebs all over bathroom window. Carpark cost £15 a day but even after paying you was not guaranteed a parking spot. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was good. The pool is very small but nice , changing rooms were clean but showers were dirty and really need updating

The hotel staff were absolutely lovely and the hotel is in a good location for the price, just a short walk down to the beach/ town. However the hotel itself is a bit dated and our room, especially the bathroom, was fairly unclean with dirty bed sheets and towels. The spa facilities are also quite small.

DurleyDean Review April 2025

The negatives- swimming pool is very small and not monitored properly with the amount of people using it and becomes unbearable. The hotel is very dated and in need of updating. The double beds are very small. Parking is a nightmare and you’re lucky to get a space and if you do it’s £15 a day. Stepped access on the bedroom floors even after using the lift. The positives - bar food at the hotel is very nice, bar area is relaxing and dog friendly if needed, hotel is clean and tidy, breakfast is good value at £11.

The hotel is ‘of its day’ in style and furniture but the warm welcome and helpfulness of staff made up for the slightly tired decor. Friendly Resturant staff and excellent tasty breakfast. All in all, with good transport links, near to beach and decent facilities it’s a great place to stay.

Don’t stay here

Absolutely horrific hotel do not stay here!! Bed sheets clearly hadn’t been changed they were stained with what looked like blood! The toilet seat was basically brown. Dust everywhere! Pillows are rock hard. Paid extra for the better/bigger room didn’t even have a bath. Emailed with a complaint shouldn’t have even bothered the owner is RUDE and accused us of basically causing the mess ourself and a reply of “It the same as eating a whole meal and then saying you didn’t like it and wanting it for free“ Don’t waste your money!
