"Beautiful property. We stayed in the Beach House which was child-friendly. Staff were great and so were the facilities. Only issue was the children’s pool was out of service but we were able to use the main pool at Saltmoore House. Breakfast was amazing too."

"Friendly staff. Room was clean. It’s located in the city centre easy to walk around the shops and beaches. It’s on a hill, so one must walk down steps to the beach or take a tram. Food in town was not ideal: I tried a few based on reviews or recommendations, but was disappointed. Parking in town is a nightmare. The hotel provided on street parking £5/night, but it’s difficult to find a spot. There are some lovely shops around the corner, some antiques and soaps, where worth a visit."

"The hotel needs updating and is looking very worn however the guy on reception was very helpful and friendly and the room was clean enough for our one night stay. The curtains were a little shabby and could of done with a wash and some of the amenities could of done with fixing but we managed. It was the cheapest we could get for our visit so you basically get what you pay for, if you want a better quality hotel this is not the palace to stay."

10/10 Excellent
"I had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed my stay. I booked a single room and would say it was a small double. Well furnished with good ensuite facilities. The hotel was clean and well managed, corridors to the rooms was a little tired in places, but public areas and bedrooms were immaculate. A good selection of continental and full English items available for self-service at breakfast. Friendly helpful staff throughout the hotel. I used the swimming pool and enjoyed an early morning swim, I didn't use the other spa facilities or the gym which appeared well equipped. Only on street parking available for which the hotel provided a parking disk which covered from check in to check out times. Definitely reccomend this hotel and look forward to staying here again"
