Very good location and comfortable room but basic facilities and not enough staff .

Pros: Location Cons: Not enough staff . No one present after 5pm and bar closed at 5pm . Too early to close bar on a Friday / Sat evening. Lobby baby change toilet bin not emptied and overflowing with paper hand towels. Ladies toilet , hand towel dispenser not working.

Pleasant

Pros: We love the location and have been there before 4 years ago Cons: It has gone down hill since our last visit after breaking away from Best Western and closing for 6 months. They dont hold any events anymore and are putting the cafe out to francise. They are only going to open for the summer months in the future according to the staff. The reception was only open 10am to 5pm so if you needed anyone after that you had to phone a mobile number. There was no bar or cafe facilities after 5pm

Great location by the sea but a disappointing experience.

Pros: Car parking off road. Cons: No cooked breakfast. No bar. No evening reception. Sad to see the terrace with a great view of the sea not in use. Unable to see my face in the bathroom mirror (too low on the wall). Rooms smelt like an unloved care home :(

Unhappy visit

Pros: That this Hotel holds personal memories. A place that we have used many times over the years. Cons: That is now classed as a B&B. And we could not have the Sea View room that we booked weeks ago as it had a plumbing issue we were told! So we ended up in a dark gloomy room. With partial refund. It ruined the weekend. A return is very unlikely.
