Hotel was ok, clean enough but needs updating. Hot water was very intermittent, I was told it needs to run for 15 mins before getting warm, but I ran it for much longer than that and still had to have cold showers every morning. Breakfast was overpriced for what it was. Great location and friendly staff.

lovely clean room and helpful staff . Worth noting that there is currently scaffolding on the front of the hotel - it was not good value to pay the extra for a seaview room only to look at scaffolding !

This property desperately needs a refurbishment! Paintwork is awful. Surface cleaning is ok but it needs a deep clean. Such a small shower. Its just an attachment shower and very difficult to use effectively. The carpet had cigarette burns on it which shows how old it is. Avoid!!
