    Bath could have done with a mat to prevent slipping. Bathroom was a bit cramped. Walls were slightly stained.

    Affordable and snug. Accommodating staff. Good Tea/beverage/snack selection.

    Our room was a bit tired with a broken pane of glass. Decent size though, clean and comfortable and peaceful.

    Beautiful building, stunning location. Outdoor pool being open at the end of September was brilliant. Staff very nice. Free parking.

    Sadly the breakfasts could have been tastier. The cheese and tomato omelette was heavy and unpalatable. The scrambled egg, with smoked salmon, was greasy and tasteless. The full English breakfast was fine apart from the sausage and the mushrooms (which were obviously not fresh, and probably out of a tin). We decided not to try the evening meals after looking at the menu.

    We were happy with our room and the beautiful view of the sea. Unfortunately breakfast did not live up to the standard of a four star hotel (in my opinion). The full English breakfast was fine apart from the sausage and the mushrooms (which were obviously not fresh). The omelette was heavy and unpalatable. The scrambled egg and smoked salmon, would have been lovely, but the scrambled egg which was greasy and tasteless.

    I am a younger person and I saw one other young couple with a baby, the rest of the demographic were older people however this may also be due to the time of year and school holidays have finished.

    Location was amazing, right next to the sea and spent the evening sat outside listening to the waves crash into the sea walls below. Took a nice walk into down along the costal path which you can access from the bottom gate. I had a single room but the bed was very spacious for just myself.

    Furnishings in the main hotel and rooms starting to look a little tired, could do with refreshing and complete refurbishment in places. Changing facilities in health suite poor Service in the restaurant slow and slightly haphazard at times. Menu limited and no changes made over the week

    The hotel had lovely old world charm, comfortable large room overlooking the sea. Great vibrant terrace bar with friendly helpful staff. Excellent facilities providing activities for all ages and abilities Location of the hotel perfect

    Nothing really! A proper cup of real coffee would be nice though… they don’t have a real coffee machine, just one of those pod things.

    Beautiful views, lovely location, clean comfortable room, staff were absolutely delightful and so helpful! The restaurant particularly was great, they went out of their way to accommodate my diet and even made me a special tofu curry! The indoor pool is nice too, clean and peaceful.

    We were very lucky with the weather which made the rooms very warm, even with the windows open. This is a big ask but some sort of air con would really add to the ecperience

    There was a large selection for breakfast to suit all tastes. My wife, fussy eater, even tried things she had mever had before......and liked them. The location was wonderful, lovely views over the sea. There's an hourly bus into town or a taxi will cost about £6

    Poor service re meals. Breakfast took 20 minutes to take the order and 30 more minutes for it to be cooked. The Terrace restaurant was closed for food when I arrived at 8.05 although I was told meals would be served until 8.30

    Creaking floors in rooms and corridors. The bar and restaurant service could have been better. Although the staff worked hard, they often failed to notice that guests had not been given a chance to order food and it took over half an hour to receive a drink on our first night at the Terrace Bar - the staff worked hard but method and efficiency were lacking.

    Wonderful location overlooking a small beach with far-reaching views. Good gym and swimming facilities. Friendly staff. Lovely terrace bar, with sea views, for evening drinks and light meals.
