Gorgeous spot and perfect hotel

Absolutely loved my stay here, so much so that I’m planning on a return trip next month. I usually hate business trips but in this case I enjoyed my time away from home. Food was delicious and I loved watched the sea while I ate my meals. Room was cosy and immaculate. Special thank you to Housekeeping for everything they did!

Bryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beach location with great service and lovely food.

Had a lovely stay and thought the whole experience was great value for money. Every aspect of the service across reception, outdoor cafe and dining/breakfast room was really good. The quality of food also surpassed our expectations - I had a wonderful fruit & cinnamon warm scone with jam & cream that was totally delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised that there was a good choice of non-alcoholic drinks including a nice white wine. Our room was a little dated, but comfortable and clean and for the price we'd paid very good value. The location is perfect for a quiet seaside stay with the train station just round the corner. Would stay again and next time book some spa treatments.

Nice hotel. Staff very friendly. Room was nice if a little compact. Very clean. We had room 203 which was a dormer room so sloping ceilings. Not so good if your tall, particularly in the shower. Cant speak fo the other rooms though. Plenty of parking when we were there.

We had a 1 night stay here for our anniversary. Such a lovely hotel and location. All staff including those in the spa were a credit.
Terry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at this hotel for the past 5 years and have seen the transformation that has occurred over recent times. My sister and I stayed with our elderly mother for 5 nights. I have to say that the staff at this hotel are exceptional. So friendly, kind and hard working. The half board menu was delicious and couldn’t fault the food. The rooms are of a high quality and whilst there was no availability this time for a mobility access room we found the ground floor room perfect for mums needs.
