Check-in was easy (despite having completed online form beforehand). Room comfortable although bed mattress was far too soft for my liking.

The hotel was a lovely period hotel. It was classy but its under refurbishment and the workers started about half 7 and you could hear them.

The property was undergoing a refurbishment during our visit so I can see that there will be improvements to the decor in the future, the room I stayed in 125 was in great condition and seemed to be one of the newer rooms, there was no evening dining on site during our stay due to kitchen refitting, we were provided with plates and cutlery for our takeaway, the staff were always attentive and helpful during our stay so I would return to the hotel in the future if in the area and would like to see the hotel after the refurbishment.

A nice hotel in general. Has a good car park my room was good. It could do with modernising as my room was outdated, but it was a very big room and a comfy bed.

The bedroom had been refurbished. Very comfortable. The bathroom was very dated. The shower in particular was very slow. The staff were very helpful. The common areas were in the process being upgraded.

Unfortunately the room I was given was long overdue a refurb - torn curtain, stains, mould, cracks, peeling paint... The list goes on. The hotel itself and downstairs décor was lovely, however, so maybe I was just unlucky.

An enjoyable stay - hotel clearly mid renovation and some rooms in much better shape than others. Great, convenient location for town and a wander to the beach . Would love to stay again in a few months time once renovations are complete.

This hotel is going extensive refurbishment. Could not have dinner as the kitchen was being re-eqiped. Excellent public rooms. Friendly staff who did everything they could to make your stay enjoyable. Hotel has an older part and a more modern extension. I had a large double room in the original part of the hotel. No central hearing but there was an efficient stand alone heater. Bathroom had a radiator. The room was bright and airy and was well furnished. No traffic noise. Would definitely stay again.
