The hotel was lovely and the location was overlooking the sea which was very nice. We booked for an evening meal which was absolutely appalling., We booked for seven o'clock but had to wait outside the dining room to be seated for about twenty minutes.The waiter had to come and clean the table then we waited over an hour to get the drinks we ordered. Then our meal came which was nothing special for the price.Everyone was complaining about the wait. I wouldnt stay here again which is a shame because the place was lovely. It just was the service we received it was a shambles.We were told guests were a priority but we would have been better doing self service.

Perfect location. But you can tell they were either short staffed of inexperienced, but that said they work incredibly hard. We had the family room and it was a bit rough round the edges - I rate the rooms on two fundamental things - quality of the shower and how comfortable the bed was and it failed on both!

2nd visit
Great hotel, wonderful location. Brilliant spot to have a drink outside on a nice day. Staff in bar very friendly, only negative is the hotel is a bit tired in places and the rooms are a bit average although this wouldn’t detract from me returning

Superb, friendly staff.
Really friendly staff and easy check in. Rooms great, a bit of damage here and there to furniture and fittings. Food was good, heard a few people complaining about length of wait, but I didn't have a problem. Would happily stay again.

Wonderful seaside stay
Amazing hotel - wonderful views from the seaview room and from the bar / restaurant. The room was comfortable with nice little touches. Staff are incredibly friendly and the food is amazing. Easy parking and great walks along the beach and coast path.
