Staff on reception were really friendly and patient - especially as she was interrupted by a rude customer twice while she was serving us. Very impressive. The room was lovely and clean. We will definitely come back, thank you!

The hotel room was so bad to say it had been recently been upgraded. We woke up with rain pounding through the windows and the carpet was totally soaking. Reported to reception with no response and hence the fire alarm constantly going off during the night. Wouldn’t stay again!!!!!

Property and rooms quite dated, wallpaper peeling off walls in corridors, room was classed as a superior twin with sea view. The sash windows are very old and were filthy, had to wipe the window to try and see the views. On the plus the food was good, breakfast was overpriced. Staff were friendly, it’s in a great location, but hotel needs updating and rooms should be priced accordingly.

Visit at your own risk!
Initially a nice welcome by staff and to be to be we had an upgrade we were pleased. If this was an upgrade god know what our room would have been like, shocking, this could be fixed with minimal cost and a little thought. Breakfast was good
