Father and son trip

A pretty hotel with pleasant friendly staff. Fabulous views and great location. Our room was a decent size but roasting hot even with the windows open and the fan on. The single beds were comfortable but felt unsteady and as if they’d fall over with any movement. We both had a poor nights sleep. Breakfast was good and included.

Money spent on downstairs , bedrooms and bathrooms need updating paintwork very chipped and the furniture, power points not in the places.showers need to have a shelf and asked for rubber mat did not feel safe keep bending down for the toiletries. Beds uncomfortable and asked for a topper I used a duvet the first night. I had a Seaview room and the view was amazing but the price I paid and the state of the room was definitely not worth the price .

Great location for the beach and town. Nice hotel. Staff are friendly but not really efficient. The youngsters dealing with breakfast could really benefit from more training and perhaps supervision. Getting a drink in the evening can be laborious unfortunately. Room was comfortable but walls are thin due to the age of the hotel. Overall pleasant.

Needs an upgrade - do not rely on website

Initial impression on arrival outside, reception and bar area good. Staff friendly. However the stairs and bedroom were very scruffy and in need of a total refurbishment. The curtains were not hung properly so light came in very early, bed sheets did not fit. The outdoor pool was half full of debris. Whilst there the water was topped up but pool not cleaned. The sauna was out of action due to an incident with a child and the jacuzzi had not worked for a year according to receptionist. This was booked as a birthday treat for my husband. The hotel website and your link described a high end restaurant ‘fine dining experience’ which I hoped to book for a birthday meal. However on arrival the only offering was basic bar meals and no food option on the Monday evening so had to go into local town in the rain to find somewhere to eat. The hotel website is very misleading. If I had known all the above I would not have booked. I did suggest to the receptionist that they need to remove the present description of the hotel as it was not helpful. She replied they have a new website but the only ones I found spoke about the complete dining experience.
