Highly recommended NOT to book here
Sadly the rules do not allow the sharing of a direct experience, which is odd really as that's what you review.... nevertheless this hotel is very much lacking ~ trained competent polite respectful staff including management, any kind of atmosphere, and incredibly lacking in headspace in the 2nd floor rooms where half the ceiling slopes. There is also no lift to the second floor so if you need one and choose to stay here despite the many similar experiences shared, make sure you ask at booking for an appropriate room. Seriously think twice before booking this hotel, it needs a lot of work to improve.

Our stay was quiet and the property clean. We had the fortune to be looked after by Charlette who is a huge talent and benefit to the hotel. Unfortunately the breakfast were quite poor and the scrambled eggs grey and smelly. We also requested a room clean and had the sign out in the door but it want done. Good quiet location but I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

The Dunes is a beautiful hotel in a great location- easy access to beaches and gateway to The Lakes. It’s light, airy and spacious. The grounds are landscaped tropically with a lovely adventure playground for children. The hotel is pet friendly and the staff couldn’t do enough to help us. We are at the restaurant, which accommodated us well as vegans. We loved our short but sweet stay there.

It’s like returning home when we stay at The Dunes. Beautiful hotel with just the friendliest staff and at an affordable price. It’s a Pit stop for us this time, as our main holiday is in Northumberland but usually we would enjoy the little walk down the road to the exquisite national trust currently under threat beach - Roanhead.

The location was great - quiet and out of the way but easily access to local attractions. I did find the room a bit warm on arrival and had to immediately turn off the radiators and open the windows. Also, the bed was a bit too hard and uncomfortable for me but that’s personal taste. The wash basin in the bathroom was cracked and I could have done with a hand rail to get in and out of the bath but that was my own fault for not requesting an accessible room.

The room did not have adequate lighting to do work, when I brought this to the attention of the staff as the light was not operational, they just took the bulb out and did not replace it, the clock was not working so one I pointed it out they just removed the clock and didn’t replace it, my room on first night of three could not be cleaned as I did not have a tag for the door handle - not enough door tags for the number of room

It's a lovely place for a chilled getaway. Very nice and welcoming staff, great food and the place simply looks quality. Not a great deal to do in the area unless you have a car but theres plenty of nice walks to take.
