Lovely spacious room, with huge windows to a stunning sea view. Dog friendly. Nice welcoming bar area and staff. Breakfast was ok, we dined out for dinner as we had heard the food at the hotel wasn’t very good, but so many more options on the doorstep. Overall a great place to stay.

My stay was very good. Clean room and great staff service all round, throughout my stay. The only criticism is that the hotel is in need of an extensive refurbishment.

The most obnoxious and rude staff in hospitality
We had our personal belongings removed from our room 2 nights into a three night stay and just to have the room key snatched from our hand and said don’t know where are things are. Simply told on our return to the hotel without any prior communication that our booking was finished and there were no rooms. Despite proving our reservation was for 3 nights not two as we had already paid. The reception staff were unreasonable and wouldn’t explain any reasoning with any sort of decorum or professionalism. Simply horribly and abruptly. When our Compaynt Managing Director called to resolve she simply refused him access to discuss with the shift manager and wouldn’t provide any justification or reason and simply left him on hold permanently. Really disgusting behavior, people like that do not deserve a job never mind working in a customer service role in hospitality. Please please do not stay at this hotel…..!!!!
