We were in what I would call the annex which was lovely as had our own garden area with table and chairs. Room very spacious and loved the decor. Bathroom a wee bit tired and does need TLC but clean. Breakfast lovely and lots of choice and receptionist (young lady with dark hair) was so helpful. Definitely returning.

Hotel was clean , room spacious good location and staff were nice . Downside : rooms need a bit of refurbishment , table lights didn’t work, bbc player wasn’t loading and tv was constantly freezing. Room wasn't tided up properly one day . Maid left the key in my door from outside which was there all day and anyone could get in . When I took it to receptionist , I didn't even get an apology. Food in they restaurant well overpriced for what it was , quality was on a downside. Breakfast charged at £20 pp :( which is quite shocking considering the over all level of hotel .

Was stuck in traffic and called reception to ask about check in-Sharon was an absolute delight, explained me alternative check in process and gave all info through the phone, honestly I could not thank her enough how helpful she was. Lovely girl in the reception the next day talked us through the breakfast and check out procedure. Room was very tidy, great size and extremely clean. There was tv for little entertainment that done the job for my little one. Dining/breakfast area was very modest, breakfast menu had a nice variety and we had some nice toast, coffee and juice whilst waiting. Everything was smooth - they have parking at the back but ai just parked in front as theres two spaces and I knew I will be out by the time restrictions apply (parking from 8 am for one hour without return only). Would definitely come back again!

Room was clean, bed was really comfortable, slept really well,a little warm as radiators were on but a fan is provided, staff were really friendly, breakfast is excellent but the time slot of 07:30-09:30 is a little early, parking is really good with a roof above which stops any seagull mess👍…. Overall an excellent place to stay

Fine for a night

Bar, breakfast, restaurant are lovely. Staff are friendly. Room was very clean. Location was great. Free parking on site.
We were staying in the patio rooms which had one window looking into an indoor patio area. For me felt a bit claustrophobic as no window on the outside. Pipes are loud. Was fine for one night but wouldn't want to have stayed longer.

The staff were really, really nice and helpful. I can’t praise them enough. The room was reasonably clean, as was the bathroom. However, the plumbing was not so good, particularly the toilet cistern, which had issues. Bathroom fittings in need of major upgrade.

One thing is that the place advertises parking for guest. However, spaces are limited and on return in the late afternoon from one trip away, I returned to find no parking spaces. I had to park on the street in a a spot with restrictions. I had to get up early the next day to move it in order to prevent myself from getting a ticket.

Our room was incredibly tiny and not practical for two people, the sink was in the bedroom not the bathroom so this brought about some problems as you can image. We asked to move but they were unable to accomodate this request.
Housekeeping wasn't the best either, not hoovered throughout our 4 day stay, just bins emptied and biscuits replenished.
The staff were all very friendly, breakfast was lovely we ate in the restaurant once for an evening meal, again delicious.
They are clearly mid refurb, the dining areas, lounge and bar all very nice but really feel room 29 was not fit for purpose. I doubt we will stay there again.
Location is great for shops alternative places to eat, the train station, nice marina and a short drive to lovely beaches.
