a bit disappointed

To get to the room we had to go stairs up and down, in narrow corridor with luggage. We had the impression it was in the cave... also it was not perfectly clean, espacially the breakfast table, the corridor. Actually the room itself was not too bad and calm, just less nice than in the pictures.

When we arrived the front concierge desk was welcoming and knowledgeable which with it being a first impression is always good!!..Having traveled all over the uk in all levels of hotels I didn’t know what to expect however from the get go the free hotel parking was plentiful with a nice and safe location.There was the Sunderland run on the following day day but again there was a plan for our parking and leaving the hotel wasn’t an issue and the concierge team instructed us on what to do beforehand. During our stay the room we was absolutely fantastic!,it was Large ,well decorated room which also included a fantastic jacuzzi tub.The room was complimented by uninterrupted views over the sea which led to us both watching a beautiful sunrise from the window .The service during our stay was absolutely amazing too! All friendly staff and always happy to accommodate..upon departure we was chatting the the concierge staff again regarding coming back as by this time our minds was made up .we loved the area ,hotel and staff! You’re all a credit to that hotel ! Keep it up guys and gals! Will be back soon to explore more of that costal area using your amazing hotel as a base! 5starys all round from us! 😎👏👏

Lovely seaside hotel

Great location on the seafront. I had a room with a sea view, which was lovely. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent. They gave me a takeaway box on the last morning. I highly recommend the Italian restaurant next door and there are great cafes along the sea front walk.
