Beautiful individual room. Not standard soleless room. Beautiful seaview from room. Restaurant was extremely helpful by making me a vegetarian, gluten free salad with assorted cheeses and new potatoes. This was not on the standard menu, but very tasty. A very good experience and would love to return.

A brilliant dog friendly place to stay
Having recently got a second dog we wanted to trial a dog friendly hotel and see how well they behaved and how well we coped. We were pleasantly surprised at how well behaved both dogs were. We were very happy with the hotel staff who were all friendly, courteous and helpful. The hotel is perfectly located next to the beach access. We had a king size room and it was huge with a vast bathroom too. Plenty of room for us all to enjoy. We ate both Sunday dinner and breakfast during our stay and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Great location, nice staff. Far too many dogs for me though. It says ‘dog friendly’ so fair enough, but this was on another level and in every dining and accommodation area. It was very busy and almost every customer had a dog. Dogs with their faces resting on tables next to their owner’s plate… You have to be a dog person to enjoy this I think.

The property was not up to standard, had to change rooms twice, due to noise and exceptional smell. Harry the night manager went out of his way to try and make things right, and the manager at breakfast was also very polite, and the breakfast was lovely and fresh, . Unfortunately the general manager Nick , was very unhelpful, after Harry had messaged him and told him about the issues occurred. On booking out, unfortunately issues still had not been rectified. So would not visit there again.

A satisfied guest
Only complaint was WiFi Guest is unsecured so my devices wouldn’t work and TV signal isn’t the greatest. Rooms could do with AC. Apart from those little niggles I would definitely stay again, in fact will be staying again. Sea views magnificent. Food very good. Room and bathroom quirky well decorated and comfortable King size bed.
