good points - excellent sea views and a friendly welcome there it ends. I was given room 201 next to the lift, which meant the room vibrated each time some used the lift. The room decor was dated but functional - underside of the bedspread had been slashed a few times and obvious signs of cigarette burns in furniture despite... More

We tried this place many times due to its location. It has nice views. We understand that its presently being rented out and no longer run by the owner. It is always difficult to get service in the bar because the staff disappear on a regular basis. Most are part-time with little or no experience. The food is only so-so,... More

Hotel was clean, rooms clean, staff very nice, especially the lady on reception, food was lovely & well priced, service good. The bar was nice, view out onto the sea,... More

Stayed in the "Sands"over the Easter break and can honestly say the food was great and the staff friendly, only down side was the fact that when booking the hotel the only thing we asked for was a double bed, disappointed when we saw two singles had been pushed together ( not a good nights sleep).. Room was tidy and... More
