Almost perfect

The service was excellent, so friendly. The rooms well appointed and with a bath, so often nowadays only showers. jThe food itself was superb, the only fault and the reason it did not get a ten was the cutlery and crockery aon the breakfast table were dirty, stained and two chipped cups

Not too much to dislike about here

Nice location poor reception staff

Nice location

After already paying on booking.com before we arrived the receptionist demanded we pay them again and made a scene . I explained many of times before that it has already been paid and they told us it is not possible , then eventually after standing at reception for 30 mins he came and said “oh I see use have paid “ then gave us our room key! Very poor reception!

We had a very relaxed and enjoyable stay with lovely staff .

Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. Hotel very clean and comfortable bed and room. Dinners were tasty and good portions.

The fact there was no actual bar to sit and have a drink. If u were just having a drink the people at the next table could have been eating a meal. An area just to have a quiet drink would have been nice.

lovely spot but needs sufficient chef and kitchen staff to cater for summer and bank holiday footfall

nice room good bed good location

waited 1 hour to place a food order and eventually left premises and had an apache pizza in the car. staff peddling the “3 functions so a delay on food orders” nonsense. management needed to take control and set patrons straight. hire summer staff for the kitchen, offer a complimentary glass of wine or fizzie drink to appease patrons waiting unnecessarily to eat.

Birthday break

Central with a good car park across from it..great walks and big park if you have kids .good beach is 5 mins away and town also just 5 mins walk.. breakfast was very tasty best I've eaten in a long time and spotless in my room...

.Staff could do with smiling a bit more especially at Breakfast time. My room was lovely but very warm could do with some air conditioning especially the front rooms as sun just shines in and with window still no air gets in..I think it's more suited for older people.but very good restaurant.

Very pleasant stay! Would highly recommend!

Breakfasts were excellent! Loved everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the food was amazing and the location was great and so central to all sorts of beautiful beaches, sites and drives etc.

Only niggle was the little shelf on the wall to the left of the basin (room 156, double bed) that was hard not to bump when getting out of the shower / bath. It could be placed somewhere else. Also could hear guests' movements(!) in room above ours.
