The hotel is on the seafront and our sea-view room was clean & comfortable. The staff were very efficient & always pleasant and helpful. The food varied from good to superb - the cakes at the included afternoon tea are especially good. I can only assume that it is only rated as 2 stars, because it lacks facilities like a... More

We stayed here for Christmas and it is really good value for money. We have stayed here before, so did know what to expect from the hotel. This time we had a second floor family room at the back of the hotel, which was spacious and comfortable. We had views over towards the hills, the only real noise being the... More

Fabulous New Year break. Smallish room on the third floor but very clean and comfortable. Mattresses and linen very acceptable. Excellent food (outstripping the 2star rating) and the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and polite. Really convenient location and good value. More

We travelled with woods Coaches who have never let us down with their hotel choices and they certainly did not fail us on this occasion. We had a good-sized sea view room on this seafront hotel and having nothin but praise for the food and the service. The hotel was busy, coping with two coach tours at one time but... More

Overall good value for money, appreciated by all our family Christmas group - with two of us from the Baltics, seven from Germany, two from Switzerland, and one from England, age range 6 to 86, different income brackets, hence the choice of hotel. We had a third floor double bedded room with sea view (and sound). Another of the group... More

4th year Christmas Break. As usual the Staff and food were first class. You are made to feel welcome and there are many small touches that enhance the whole experience eg a card and small gift of welcome in the room. The rooms are well decorated and beautifully clean. The food is first class with a good variety of choice... More

We read the reviews and checked out the website and were so looking forward to our stay. It was very dark, wet and blowing a gale when we arrived...the car park was full so we were directed to a public car park and told to purchase a £1 parking ticket so we wouldn't get clamped in the morning...not a good...

Having read many reviews on here, I didn't know what to expect. Firstly, the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, especially as we had a 15 month old with us and needed to park his pram in reception over night ! This was not a problem. We booked the modern room with a sea view. Small, but has all... More

OK, so the floorboards creaked and the third floor room was small, but apart from that we had a great stay. Stunning views over the sea, good food and friendly guests - all much older, but there to have a good time. But what sets this hotel apart was simply exceptional service from a happy blend of British and European... More
