Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The family rooms are often described as lovely and spacious. While some guests have mentioned that rooms can get warm, fans are usually provided; also, the parking can be a little tight.

A good seaside stay

nice staffpool facilityconvenient selectionlimited parking

I found the tea and coffee making selection very convenient. The indoor pool and sauna facility are located next door and provide a relaxing experience. The hotel's communal areas look great and the staff members are polite and nice.

I noticed not enough parking spaces are available and street parking requires payment. It could be challenging to secure a spot.

Dining

Breakfast includes fried eggs, hash browns, sausages, bacon, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Guests can also request custom egg preparations. There is also toast, croissants, cereal, assorted juices, fruit, and yogurts available each morning.

the rooms were nice and clean! i also got a sea view, lovely. the staff were helpful, even if they sometimes looked a bit lost. i love the free cake and coffee on arrival, such a nice touch.

i wasn't happy that i had to pay £12 a day for parking in the hotel car park, it felt quite expensive. i think parking should be included .
