Friendly staff. Good food. Clearly there are some issues regarding the management if the hotel as the decor was tired, some things like the bathroom extraction did not work and it was evident that underneath the beds had not been cleaned in a long time. But overall the stay was pleasant. Overpriced for what you get.
Friendly staff but property unfinished, dirty under the bed that doesn't look like its been cleaned for months and in dire need of refurbishment. Also very limited breakfast choice with no options if you are a vegetarian or vegan.

Booked 3doubles with onsuite got 2 no tea or coffee in one off the rooms very run down ,just bit old and tired needs lots off money spending on it.
Room was very tired with exposed electrical wires, the room has never been dusted (cobwebs everywhere). Worst of all the bedding on one of the beds has never been changed from previous guests. Majority of the bedding and towels had marks on them. Would never go back
All of these reviews are correct. I stayed here for one night, and it was basically fine. Towels were obviously clean (as in they had been washed) but were stained; bedding was clean. Some hairs in the shower etc …
The decor is in need of

Great value for money nice friendly environment
Good helpful team
Superb location
It was ok, parts of hotel are in need of renovation but basically clean. Room was small for 2 of us for 4 day stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked but a bit sparse for me as I’m gluten intolerant and they didn’t seem to understand what that meant. We didn’t eat in the hotel- feel that if they upped their game on the food it would help reviews.

Disliked: Amenities
We had read that the hotel was being refurbished by new owners, but felt that our room, whilst clean, was unfinished. There was no toilet roll holder; the en-suite door frame had been primed but not painted; areas around the window needed decorating; a strip of new coving was not properly fixed to the ceiling and there was a strange plastic tube with a tissue stuffed in the end running across the top of the window. Personally we also disliked the laminate flooring and the fact that the window (ground floor, street facing) had only vertical blinds and no curtains. All that being said, this room was at least 40% cheaper than anything else in the area for the one night that we wanted and clearly some work had been done as the en-suite looked new with quality tiling, and the ceiling looked new.
Are you in the mood for a depressing seaside hotel with black mold, electrical wires draped over furniture, filthy towels and public hair in the sink?
Well then - do I have the place for you!
Did I mention the front desk staff is oblivious to your suggestions to clean the room and make it habitable?
If all of the above is not what you are looking for then just search for hotels with more than one star.
Both hotel and room was not as advertised on website except for beer garden. Staff not friendly. Room was down a number of corridors and doors all of which were in poor repair. Room was not of a good standard and felt more like a hostel. I did not stay and booked alternative accommodation in the village as apart from the standard of whole hotel being poor, i did not feel safe as a female on my own
Toilet did not flush, this was reported but no the problem was not remedied. Other guest were noisy , exacerbated by banging from the fire door whenever anyone moved along the corridor. Rooms were not very clean.
