A delightful, comfortable stay right...
Liked: Situated on the esplanade, with some views out to sea and to the west, it is an old fashioned, comfortable hotel with 40 rooms. Ours was quite spacious. Good buffet breakfast.
Disliked: Car parking! Very few slots in the free park behind the hotel. If you can’t find a space there, you must use the expensive town car park opposite.

A fabulous long weekend with...
Liked: Superb location. Receptionists helped bring in our luggage from the car park at the back of the property and again at the side when leaving despite the arrival of a coach! All staff were extremely pleasant. Good choice of breakfast both continental and cooked which was well prepared and presented on nice hot plates!
Disliked: Nothing.

We were only there for...
Liked: It all went well. the Staff are lovely and all so helpful. Food is lovely. Room is lovely and our balcony was amazing. We had the door open all night and could seen the moon on the water. One night it was the most amazing strawberry moon. We just lay in bed and enjoyed the view.
Disliked: I needed to get my mobility rollator in and out and it would have been easier if both the double doors were left open instead of just one. But any staff nearby immediately helped me if they say me struggling. The hotel is listed so they cant have ramps put in but it would make a big difference if the entrance double doors were both kept open which widens the doorway.

Exceptional
Liked: The hotel has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The room was very comfortable. All of the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We ate dinner at the hotel and the food was excellent. Breakfast was good too, with high quality productos. I highly recommend this hotel.

Would definitely stay again
Liked: Sea view. Dog friendly staff. Nice, segregated room for breakfast. Comfy bed. Small but adequate lift.
Disliked: We did have a lady wanting to share the lift rather than waiting for it. Notice says not to share. I walked down to stop our dog being crammed in.My mackerel for breakfast smelt awful & tasted bitter, so I couldn't eat it. Not offered other choice.

Disappointed
Liked: Great location. Debbie at reception and Jack in the bar, restaurant were great.
Disliked: Some staff were completely disinterested, cooked breakfast was microwaved, including smoked salmon! The room was quite basic. At £450 for a 2 night stay it's a premium rate for an indifferent experience.
