    A 2 AM fire alarm serenade, an evacuation to nowhere!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Fire alarm at 2am and the evacuation to the front of the property. No explanation from staff on what to do or when we could go back to our rooms. No offer of late checkout. Upstairs guests were bouncing around and jumping about most of the time we were in the room so either the people upstairs were very loud or the ceiling and floor is very thin.

    Pool and location.

    Whilst the property was cleans and rooms where big, the bathroom needed a Reno.

    Rooms were big and clean and the pool was big and my kids loved it. Very close to beach, easy to walk down for a stroll on the water.

    A rare combination of family friendly tweaked with a big dash of luxury. Value for money.

    I didn't find the TV very user friendly and I felt it needed a guide to operate it best. When driving so far to just break up the trip all that I wanted to do was flop with the TV on and fall asleep. Room service would have made it even better too. I would still stay here again

    After a long and lonely drive alone and then to meander down such a beautiful tree lined drive felt like I was entering a sanctuary. A little dauted and literally exhausted, I was greeted with genuine smiles and warmth from those at the front desk. I instantly knew that I had made the best decision. Pristine clean room, very big and a bed that had me searching for the brand-it was incredibly comfortable. Pure luxury and so well made. It was a lovely experience.

    An enjoyable 2 night girls getaway.

    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Pool Bar was only open for an hour, not long enough and which didn't match listed opening times. A ceiling light over the patio side of the room would have been helpful for eating dinner and playing cards. lights over the beds was fine.

    We had a room for 3 people with 2 double beds. the room was spacious enough for us. Pool towels were supplied and there were plenty of chairs around the pool. Entry steps into the pool rather than ladder was a bonus for me especially. Location is in a quiet area but still close enough to the town centre. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially the Bar staff.

    The hotel feels incredibly dated. Not much love invested into the facilities such as the pool. I sat on a wooden chair that was rotting and falling apart. The aircon doesn’t work. The cot bed was broken. There were aggressive signs in the pool area threatening eviction from the hotel is you jumped in the pool? Not very friendly.

    I liked the proximity to the beach. The driveway lined with trees, although the pot holes were huge.

    The place looks a bit tired. The bathroom was dirty and taps need maintenance, A newpaint job and out door paving would freshen the place up in my opinion, The bathrooms are outdated as a plumbing business owner I can see this, The pool drink area looks terrible, The steps inside were dirty and need a good clean, Obviously the maintenance isn’t a priority anymore maybe the bypass will end my stays here in the future,

    The food in the restaurant was absolutely terrible. Only had dinner as we decided breakfast would not be great either and by looking at it in the morning we weren’t wrong. Would not stay there again due to the food. Used to be amazing.

    The room was great.

    Very aged property. Both internal and external in dire need of refurbishment. Room facilities were very basic. A kettle and cups. No plates, bowls, cutlery, microwave etc. No chance of preparing any food/ basic snacks or meals in the room which is far from ideal for family visits of 2 or more days. Restaurant food on premises basic and expensive. No other choices. 3 star at best

    Super lovely staff.

While another staff member turned off all the lights and games while we were playing a game of pool without any warning and left us in the dark .

    I asked and paid for a junior suite/superior/honeymoon suite upgrade. I felt the room was quite small compared to the photos and the TV would not work no matter what I tried which made our movie night plans non-existent. The shower head was very terrible and did not live up to experience. I feel like for the price I paid for the upgrade as well as the “superior” status, it could be much nicer. We bought Thai for dinner and yet had no cutlery or dishes to eat it with. Was very disappointing for our romantic evening plans. Overall, I think the layout and the quality of the rooms could be improved.

    I liked the location and staff.
