    This is a 3 star hotel at most. I think the hotel itself could do a lot better with what they’ve got. Where do I start… Awful full English breakfast, our dog ended up having it all. If you have a dog and have breakfast in the reception area NOBODY comes to ask you what you want for breakfast. We had to get up and look for someone every time we needed cutlery, coffee. Etc. The avocado on toast was also a joke, it was the smallest bit of bread I’ve ever had. Coffees were also paid extra, another joke!!! And the worse is that they charge £25 per person for this lol. We were aware it is not an adults only hotel but if we had known there would be so many families and kids running around we wouldn’t have stayed here. We couldn’t even use the pool area because it was full of screaming kids everywhere. It was meant to be a relaxing holiday for us and was not relaxing at all. We stayed for 3 nights and couldn’t sleep well for 2 of them because above us there was a family who were up at 4 in the morning and made SO much noise it kept us up all night/morning. We were moved to a different room only to find it was not under these people but next to them!!! Complete joke. The building is old and all floors are squeaky. Charging £15 extra per night for a dog was also not acceptable. We were expecting so much more of this hotel and was mostly a disappointment. The bar was meant to be adults only and that’s the one place where we were looking to spend most of the time inside the hotel (as a couple) to then find there were families in there. Don’t know why they were not informed by the bar staff they couldn’t be there. Also, drinks took AGES, not enough bar staff and nobody looking after the fire which is definitely the main attraction in there. Wouldn’t go back

    The bar and restaurant were nice. The family room was spacious. Good location

    The heating was either very hot or cold. The walls are so thin I could hear the man next door snoring. I think it's silly they take a 50 pound deposit from you, even though its already quite pricy. Which I still haven't had back. The signal was hit or miss. The food was very expensive. The sauna wasn't working correctly, the jacuzzi is tiny for the size of the hotel and the swimming pool could do with a little clean.

    The view from the front of the hotel is great. Right next to a huge beach. The swimming facilities are open till 9pm so you have alot of time to enjoy a swim or jacuzzi. The bed was huge.

    Food, service at the restaurant. Was my second time there, i loved it for the first time and i invited a group of 16. But this time disappointed. Food was not good at all apart from wine and deserts. Steak was tasteless, duck salad was really bad . We paid a bill of 800 pound for the dinner, We should have been more happy from that visit. I use to love the place but not anymore... to go to the swimmig poole we waited 30 min becouse was busy, when we went there just 4 guys. Anyway they could do better.

    Swimming poole, and facilities.

    There isn’t anything to dislike about the hotel

    The hotel was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and were very accommodating. The location was perfect as we were able to have breakfast and lunch with a sea view. The facilities at the hotel were excellent and we are going to book again to bring our children as there was lots for them to do.

    Being next door to a barking dog wasn’t the best but obviously understanding that people take dogs away , but think they should keep dogs and family’s on a separate floor maybe

    What I liked is how everything you needed was in the hotel and you really didn’t need to move or leave unless you wanted a sea swim or costal walk

    - Wasn’t very clean. - Bed was small and uncomfortable. - Rooms are too hot. - The rooms are small and nothing like the advertisement. - The rooms need more love. - The view of the mouldy roof really wasn’t very appealing. - Felt like a hotel that was nice when it was first built but is now lacking love, care and attention. - Completely overpriced for what it is. I paid a lot of money to stay here and was so utterly disappointed. - £50 damage deposit - I have never heard of such a thing in any hotel I have stayed in. Utterly absurd and definitely a ploy to make you spend more money in the hotel.

    The hotel has an excellent location, right by the beach and a short walk to town. The cocktail bar is really nice and brilliantly decorated.

    At breakfast there was nearly every table full of dirty plates and cutlery and was slow to fill up all the continental stuff meaning waits of 10 mins for toast while breakfast was going cold and as our son is a very fussy eater he had to wait over 20 minutes for the pastries to be re filled. Drinks menus are wrong and guiness is from a can not surge, also items appear wrong on billing but not a biggy

    Great management and really child friendly.
