Wij hadden een kamer aan de achterkant van het hotel, zonder uitzicht en direct onder het raam de afzuigventilatoren van de keuken die tussen 7.00 en 22.00 uur continu aanstonden.

The staff were great. The property is fantastic, there is scaffolding on the back of the building where but you hardly know there is work going on. We enjoyed our breif stay, and will stay again, and when we do, it will not be booked through Expedia.

Lovely 1 night stay
We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming . Room had a lovely view though was a little tired looking. But was still very clean and comfortable. It was nice that they dont charge extra for parking and there was plenty of space. When we asked if we could takr breakfast in the room, the staff were so lovely and brought it to us. Pool was refreshing - we didn't feel rushed to leave. Would definitely visit this hotel again.

Unbelievable personal attention. Thanks! Thanks!
This staff treated us like family. The manager helped us get medical care, even loaned us his personal phone. The night manager supplied us with ice to handle pain. Dinner was amazing. All staff, including the kitchen staff and chefs, literally stood outside to wave goodbye to the seniors on the buses every day!!

Breakfast not great
Room was small but comfortable. The bathroom steamed up very quickly with the shower as the air vent didnt seem to be working. Went down for breakfast and the tables were very very close together. Was seated and told someone would be over to take our order. Think they forgot as waited 15 mins for someone to come. When the breakfast arrived (full english) the grilled tomato was very hard and over cooked (couldve been used as a puck) and the mushrooms were black and over cooked.

The hotel is located in a fantastic place on the sea front. Check in was a breeze and the staff were helpful and very friendly throughout. The room was compact but absolutely great for the one day I was there.

Like sleeping in a broom cupboard
This hotel need dragging into the 21st century, it’s so dated it’s unreal! I had a double room which just about fitted the bed in, the bathroom was equally as small. I won’t be staying here again that’s for sure, I’d rather book a premier inn for a lot less money….

Three Night Solo Break
Really nice public areas. My single room was small but clean and perfectly adequate with a double bed. Good bar food. Young female european staff were particularly delightful. I had several excellent vegetarian breakfasts. Minor disappointments were the low shower pressure and poor wifi in the public areas, though it was fine in my room. One episode irritated me and stayed with me all weekend. Shortly after arrival I asked at reception for a pen. The man at reception grudgingly passed me one miserably commenting “Can you make sure you give it back, they’re like gold dust round here.” This raises two comments. Firstly, front line staff should not be so bloody miserable. Secondly, why do the management compromise the efficient running of a quite large hotel by the lack of availability of a 10p biro which many hotels leave free in the rooms? In summary I had a most enjoyable stay and the hotel is excellent value for money.

uthe heritage hotel, recommended
It’s a great hotel, really enjoyed, delicious food, good size portions, good value for money. Needs some refurbishing, but very authentic heritage hotel. Brilliant service from house keeping and catering staff. Special thanks to spanish girl from the bar (sorry don’t remember the name). Reception staff could do better, only young lady was personable and helpful. Definitely would return.

un planned stop over.
Its fair to say the building is old almost 50+ years old however while cleaning is reasonably good, the interior including beds are a little past its sell by date and in need of upgrade. Staff are friendly and food of excellent quality.

Good time away
The hotel was very good, dated in places but served its purpose well. In the bar for instance, you often had to wait a very long time to be served due to the limited number of staff working. I feel it needs to update and become more in line with the current times

Excellent breakfast and good spacious public areas inside and out.Our corner standard room was small and had inadequate ventilation due to windows being sealed shut whilst the limited openers were insecure due to handles and fasteners requiring repair.
