The hotel offered a large room with a shower and bath, and a view of the beach just a two-minute walk away. However, the loud music until early morning and the uncomfortable bed were drawbacks. The room itself was spacious but had some issues.

The hotel offered a comfortable stay with a few minor room issues, and the Deputy Manager was notably friendly and helpful.

I stayed on the top floor in a room with a sloping roof, which made it uncomfortable to move around due to having to stoop. The room was cold, and the water in the shower was only lukewarm.

I opted for the Scrambled Egg option, which seemed pre-cooked and kept on hot plates. The dining experience was okay, although a bit haphazard with quickly running out of juice and pastries.

The hotel is ideally located near the beach and town, making it perfect for a weekend getaway. The rooms faced the street, which made them hot in the afternoon, but the noise prevented us from keeping the windows open for long. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist with any queries, from parking recommendations to explaining the evening meal options. The dining experience was excellent overall, although service was slow on some occasions. The hotel facilities were great, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although tired and in need of an update, offered a lovely view, and the staff was extremely friendly. Breakfast was great, but be prepared to pay £50 ahead for drinks on a Saturday night. The restaurant served brilliant fish dishes.

Celebrating my birthday at the hotel was a nice surprise with a perfect location for my needs, offering a view of the pier. However, the room was rather narrow, leaving less than 2ft of space between the end of the bed and the wall where the TV was mounted, making movement around the bed hazardous.
