6/10

The hotel is in a great location with lovely views of the water. It offered parking which was very convenient and the staff was very friendly. The hotel is older and could use an update as everything is pretty tired. Overall it was perfect for what we needed which was a place to lay our head at the end of the day but I would not want to stay there more than a couple nights.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Don’t like dogs running everywhere. The bed was not comfortable. My room number 117 was freezing cold. The wind was coming across the water and actually moving the curtains. They need to fix those windows. Breakfast was good.

Desk staff lad was very nice. Room was ok, toilet flush water kept running, only half a roll of loo roll, window frames and skirting need sanding and re-painted. Bed was comfy view was great. Breakfast staff were not that attentive especially an older lady, she was miserable. Breakfast choice was poor very little for vegetarian and at £15 each I would go somewhere else. Was a bit improved since our last visit in September.

Nice place to stay at, very happy that it was dog friendly. All i would say is that if the windows were updated and the bed was slightly bigger then i would have rated higher. I will be back though.

No mirror in room for my wife to view blow drying her hair. We had excellent view of sea from our room. Evening meal service was friendly and attentive. Bar service was slow but the barman was very helpful and informative. Overall not unhappy with our one night stay. Reception was very friendly and helpful.

10/10

Hotel is in a perfect location but it seriously needs updating and a fresh coat of paint. Rooms very shabby. I stayed in a ‘superior’ room but not superior in my opinion . I had to ask for toiletries as they were all empty or nearly empty. Reception staff friendly and helpful. I felt 10am check out was a bit early
