The room was spotless and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The staff on reception were particularly helpful. We were disappointed that the evening meal menu was a fixed price 4 course meal, with no a la carte options. The food was lovely but we really didn’t want a four course meal.

My Mum and Dad have had an absolute amazing time.. Everything was completely wonderful! Myself and my siblings booked my Mum and Dad in for their special anniversary, and they couldn't fault a thing. They sincerely loved every single moment. My Mum said they will definitely be returning.. The staff can't do enough to help,so friendly and helpful,every single member. The room was simply beautiful,the food was outstanding. We are all so happy that you have all contributed to make this so very special. Thank You to you all..

The only thing I didn’t agree with was there was only a four course meal on offer on a night time at £40 pp if you only wanted 2 courses it was still £40pp which I think is totally wrong.

all the extras here

no complaints here, way above normal UK hotel/B&B... fridge, air cond, inside pool, even two lifts (for 3 storey unusual). Parking is a challenging skill, but then, having parking at all is unusual in these seaside places., so all is still100%!! not part of hotel, but be careful seagulls down by pier... very aggressive if you have food.

Super friendly hotel

Amazing stay ,beautiful hotel very friendly, breakfast excellent and room very comfortable, great shower for myself and also grandson loves a bath, use of thd pool was great added bonus as we love swimming, only criticism was the set 4 course evening meal , i was on my own with grandson age 5 and we just wanted a snack ( maybe bowl of chips ) but was told they didn't do that so we had to go out and when we came back i asked for a hot chocolate from the free machine but was told it was only for after meal drinks, wouldn't stop us going again though
