Great location but horel a little tired and in need of a refurbishment. Surprised this wasn't done over the winter as they are now in full season. Resturant food a little bland but acceptable, good breakfast selection and service. Great beach for families but everything else is a car ride away. Just about value for money but not cheap.

Great location. Shane about the lack of real ales available though, considering it’s a Sheperd Neame hotel, but that’s my only gripe about the place. Will def come back

Hotel lovely location overlooking the sea. Nice quiet location with bar and restaurant. Fish and chips was massive however wasn’t great thought it would be amazing as seaside location but no flavour however the Caesar salad looked amazing. Beds super comfy and everything you need in the room. Great stay overall.

A Perfect Birthday Getaway!

We recently stayed here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, the staff were brilliant—welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was a real highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from each morning. The location couldn’t have been better, with easy access to some stunning local beaches. Everything about our stay was just right, making it the perfect birthday escape. Highly recommend!

Would gladly return

We had a lovely stay, exceeded our expectations on almost every count. The hotel is brilliantly dog-friendly. The breakfast offering was particularly good - a different menu, with flexibility within the options, and the buffet was lovely as well. The location is fantastic for walking and beaches, which is all we wanted for this trip, so we are very happy guests and would certainly return for another visit.

We have stayed here before and was impressed, had my birthday here with 12 guests, everyone loved the food, the service was excellent all the staff were so helpful and kind made our stay memorable. We had room 601, which has the viewing room at the top, the sunset was amazing. We will be back, trouble is my 12 guests want room 601 too.
