Overall stay was good, but the rooms heating wasn’t on when I arrived, admins are only radiators, and either on or off…. Gap under door which let the light through from the corridor all night, I ended up putting a pillar to cover the gap on the floor to try and stop most coming through. Service was amazing, as I forgot my toothbrush and they provided one free.

Our stay was lovely. The only beef I have is that you allow dogs in the bar. I have nothing against dogs but I don’t agree with them being in a bar or restaurant where you eat and drink, it is not hygieneic

The receptionist was very helpful as our checkin was not until 3pm, but we had a family funeral to attend, completed check in even though room not ready. Meaning we could attend funeral and celebration of life at yacht club, walk up get bag out of car go to room.

A well positioned seaside hotel with a good vibe.

Our second stay here, good welcoming service. Had some lovely food in the tea room and enjoyed some small plates in the main bar. Hotel has a nice ambience in the public areas. Bit disappointed with the range of food now offered. Not as good as last year on daytime and evening menus but everything we ordered was tasty and well prepared. A few delays on cooked breakfast item availability on the second of our two days stay. A small inconvenience but still an inconvenience. I'd urge staff to ensure items are available throughout the breakfast service.

Stayed here plenty of times in the past with work, room wasn't as nice as other which i can live with, still get the free drink which is a good touch. I was there for 2 nights and only noticed once i got back the 2nd night that my room wasn't serviced, can live with the bed not being made, but no tea and coffee replaced or loo roll.

Perfect small break

Amazing night . You could easily spend more than one night here . Very self contained . We didn’t even bother to eat in the restaurant the room was so large and comfortable. We opted for room service which again was to a high standard.
