we enjoyed our 2night stay , room 116 is the best stramnge as they only have 41 rooms, as recomended by Tyler ( A future manager ) who was on reception ,plus he was realy helpful on letting us know what was happening in the hotel and surrounding areas eg Bexhill etc. Not a massive hotel ,but due to really hot weather we made full use of the terrace and private garden area. One complaint !! the shower tray is very slippery when wet.A non slip tray would be safer. Otherwise EXCELLANT two night stay.

We had a two-night stay. I thought the half-board option was very good value, and the food was well cooked and presented. But the stand out feature was how well the staff have been trained. They really made the trip - polite and engaged and followed up on everything really quickly. I was very impressed with them.

We had booked a one night stay. When we checked out we were asked if we had ordered 2 bottles of wine at dinner the night before, which we hadn’t. After an hour, a member of staff phoned me and questioned again about the wine and now asked if we had a cheese board as well, we hadn’t. Very poor communication from dining staff to reception resulting in our wedding anniversary celebration spoilt. The hotel has potential to be good.

It was disappointing to realised we needed to pay an additional fee to use the spa despite being booked into the hotel and booking 1.5hr treatments. Facilities in the spa are limited ie no main pool for 2 hrs of use. For dinner I needed to ask the waitress to sweep the floor around the table which was very messy. For breakfast being such a sunny day it was a shame immediate access was not possible from the restaurant itself. The paintwork in the bedroom ie skirting and paper lining lifting.
