We have stayed before and all staff were friendly. However this stay some of staff not so friendly or helpful. No hangers in one of rooms booked and tv not working properly in another of the rooms we booked. The bar and restaurant is really nice but the Norfolk lounge needs updating. It needs cushions on sofas and needs making more comfortable. The continental buffet breakfast is basic for and needs more choice of fruit and yogurts.

Very tired hotel. Mattress was very stained and covered with extra sheets to mask rusty and stained devan. Shower has good pressure but is covered in lime-scale: sink did not drain and plug was broken. Woken at 7am when extraction vent below window was started.

Good value all round, stayed in a family room which was massive however the bathroom is very small. Breakfast was ok, portions are certainly large enough. Great views over the beach, the lobby/bar area are very nice and the outside seating area is very large.

Weekend Stay

Stayed for one night initially but extended to an extra night. The lady on reception was superb, very welcoming, friendly and approachable. Good sized bedroom, clean, light and airy. Not the best view sadly. Huge, exceptionally comfortable bed, had an excellent nights sleep. Room was quiet. Food in the restaurant in the evening was delicious. I would recommend staying here.

Good value in the middle of holiday season, room was clean, bed comfortable, no air conditioning which would have been nice. Reception staff exceptional, restaurant staff less so; slow lacklustre service. Good food choice very well presented but under seasoned. Overall good.
