Excellent accommodation. My room was spotlessly clean and excellent food both breakfast and evening meals. The only downside is that the staff are too keen to clear tables. They took away an unfinished pint when I went for a toilet break (though they gave me a free half to compensate) and took my pot of coffee away from my breakfast table when I went to get some toast so they had to bring another one.

Room a little cramped as a third bed has been added but nice and clean. Shower is nice and large. It looks recently refurbished.
Breakfast has a good selection but would have liked some fresh fruit.

After a very difficult 18 months for my parents who are approaching 90 , I contacted the hotel in advance to give them a little background information and ask if I could pay to upgrade them as they are… celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. I was told that they had the best room and that an upgrade wasn’t possible. I expressed our wish to ensure they felt special during their stay. On their arrival today, they are not people to complain, but they have expressed their extreme disappointment to us about the size of their room, it’s tiny. Their friends’ room by comparison

We stayed here for 4 nights, most of the staff are helpful and friendly. Clean beautiful views. Meals were good. I'd gladly come back. Good entertainment on the night. Wayne the entertainment is excellent, plus a few wins on bingo was fab.

The hotel was lovely, the room was gorgeous. The bar and night staff were very kind (letting us have batteries when we forgot to bring our own). However the food didn't seem fresh and we felt a bit rushed sometimes when staff were clearing our table the second we finished eating.
In general, the experience was lovely however some attention to detail would do it well
Thank you to everyone at the hotel ❤️

It was £99 for one night in a very small single room which I felt was very expensive. However the staff were friendly and I enjoyed the breakfast but no parking at all. Very noisy too I'm deaf and can still hear doors slamming and people's conversations

Had a fantastic stay at this hotel - staff were friendly, well mannered, and really helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Meals were absolutely lovely and I would highly recommend a stay. We had a room with balcony and sea view. Cannot fault this hotel at all!
