Room was adequate, staff were friendly, parking may be a problem at peak times.
The room was adequate for my needs. Clean and basic but had all I needed. Had breakfast the first morning which was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay again.
Superb staff,a complicated shower..needs proper instructions.but superb views and I enjoyed it immensely!

Beach views were great and rooms were clean and spacious.
Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome; hotel in a great location and the room was spacious with a wonderful view, specialist diet/allergies catered for on the varied breakfast menu. Clearly the hotel is being refreshed under new management for 2026. We managed to park each time, but imagine it could be more difficult in high season when things are busier.

A two night weekend stay, quiet time of the year so was allocated a larger room than booked which was very much appreciated. Booking in and out was simple, staff were pleasant and room was clean and comfortable. No complaints, would happily stay here again.

Great location. Close to train station. walking distance to town.
Lovely location opposite the beach , clean room but hotel needs update all over , carpets doors and wall showing age , did not eat in hotel as close to lovely town centre , the shower had little pressure no way could shower properly , we only stay one night so was adequate for what we needed. Small double room very cramped and heating was super hot , had to open window , then had road noise from back road .
