    The renovations are a little inconvenient, however not intrusive.

    The property is currently under renovation however our room was complete. Spacious facility, clean and very comfy. The staff were extremely friendly and breakfast was as exceptional! Spotting otters and seals was just the cherry on the top !

    Beautiful beach views for a special weekend away

    There was construction going on and it was a pain to walk from the back of the hotel parking area to the front- Especially when traveling with elderly parents. In the morning, we moved the cars to the front to load them. It was a beautiful sunny day when we arrived, which meant the Seaview rooms had direct sun streaming into them. This made them uncomfortably warm. The only way to cool them was by opening the window, but there were street noise, and no breeze came in when the blinds were closed. My parents room had a fan in it, but ours did not. It was difficult to sleep as it was so hot. While, the evening staff were very gracious, the breakfast stuff was less so.  I would book this again, if traveling alone with my husband. But it was pricey when traveling with children. (our other accommodations fell through due to flooding, it has half the cost)

    What a beautiful location and a beautiful view! I had a Seaview room and could have sat for hours looking out the window. The bed was big and comfortable. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub where the staff was incredibly accommodating to our large party. Breakfast was good as well with plenty of options. There was a parking lot in back, which, luckily we got the last two spots for. There was a treat, along with the coffee maker, which always raises my opinion of a hotel!

    Current renovation works meant the corridor resembled a building site! But the room was fine so, while it was a bit disconcerting, it didn't actually affect my stay!

    Staff were amazing. Friendly and helpful at all times. Really nice dinner (breakfast was 'fine')

    We weren’t warned about construction work at the property meaning that scaffolding obscured our view from the dining room

    The property were doing renovations and this detracted from our visit - not much they could do about this, although it was never mentioned to us before or after.

    Friendly staff and a good bar area. Lovely aspect, looking west at sunsets.

    The room was very clean, the bed was super comfy. The shower was great. The view was amazing (sea view). The food was lovely and reasonably priced. The staff were so welcoming and polite, we didn't ask for much but we got the sense that nothing would be too much trouble. Plenty of parking with a car park to the rear, a few spaces outside the front and there is another car park across the road. We will definitely be back. Thanks again.
