Liked: Cleanliness
It was average, no reserved parking for hotel or no designated place to pull over with the car to unload which was quite problematic. Pool closed at 6pm (and the whole town’s shop too). I thought the hotel would be nicer but it was just average. You just pay for the convenience of the hotel’s proximity to the pier, beach and city centre.

No complaints at all. Superb hotel and lovely mini break. Stayed for 3 nights with my mother. Room was perfect with everything we needed. Very clean and the beds were really comfortable. Good to have air conditioning as we were having a heat wave. The best location so near to the beach and the lanes with all the lovely shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had everything you could want from a full English to fruit and cereals. It was such a pleasant stay that my mother has booked again! I’m so jealous I can’t return so soon because of work commitments.
