During our stay the fire alarm kept going off during the night. We had to call reception to clarify if we needed to evacuate or not which we found poor as the majority of guests appeared to be quite elderly. There was no explanation or apology from staff the next day. This is a moderately expensive hotel and we expected better. ![Seaview room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1d1b66e-ff8f-48c0-9e58-309f2977bd26-1756659027549.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from Window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d0a0698-f708-4518-9a9e-37c47ad2371c-1756659026998.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ASA Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John Jul 1, 2024 It’s setting with great views ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short Trip Nice short stay, relaxing. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Philip Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The hotel is generally ok, I've just had 2 nights there and to be honest it was generally clean and tidy, the staff were excellent all round and the entertainment on the night time was reasonably, However the room, (and i had one with a balcony) was so small would would not want to spendca week in it, and the bed was awful. It was like sleeping on a rock. The hotel is what we would call tired and needs quite a bit of money spending on it to get it up to a first class hotel. Still i have a good time there. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities the views are superb. well worth getting a balcony with sea view. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view on are balcony was wonderful the staff were so nice kind and helpful ##### Karen Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Clean room with great sea view ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ms Elizabeth Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Super value - will use again.

Except disposable sanitary bags ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tina Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort First words of greeting were, 'your card was declined' ... not very tactful! In fact the booking site had a pay at hotel policy so although i used my card, got confirmation of booking, and ref number, i had to actually pay when i got there. The card hadnt been declined at all. My friend and i were told to come through to the office, where we were shown the words 'card declined' on the screen. I was not happy as i knew it wouldnt be, but offered cash instead.. then i was told 'we dont take cash'. So after nearly deciding to go elsewhere, i offered the card again. It went through fine. I was then told that id ' probably put my number in wrong, we all do it'. I was going to argue that the booking wouldnt have been confirmed if id done so, but was so upset by the whole initial impression, that i took my receipt and key and went to room. He did add 'it was nothing personal' but we both thought it was handled unprofessionally and abuptly. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice view. Breakfast was good although, having checked in for a table we then had someone come up to us during our meal to ask our room number again. Check out was easy. No other problems. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08914b2e-a91c-40e2-937e-c9fd80b873ec-1750009304799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### David Aug 30, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The location was okay with views of the shoreline but no practical access to the beach and the surrounding facilities were also a bit basic ##### David Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was excellent the property who the staff the only thing I objected to was being too close to the corridor the door slammed and slammed and slammed and it only needs adjustment on the automatic closer personal thing just about me.

The bed was comfy and the room was really quiet. The internet access was awful in our room but improved in the main area of the hotel. We felt the food options were very limited. The roast carvery needed a better variety of vegetables in my opinion. Breakfast was tasty although basic. Parking in the area is very tricky. The hotel is situated in the perfect place for visiting the local area on foot. We would visit again but eat elsewhere for the evening meal. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parking. large problem with parking we were fortunate not to have any damage.
