Room was lovely, overlooking the sea, very clean and tidy. Empty handwash and shower gel was replaced very quickly. As the room was above the bar it was quite noisy. Food in the restaurant was excellent, service was a bit slow however.

Overall okay

Had a lovely stay over the bank holiday weekend. The evening service from the waitress and two waiters were outstanding, and it was a pleasure to see a group of people who genuinely love their job and were happy. However, when booking breakfast for the last morning of our stay the girl at the desk was less than friendly and my partner said he felt he couldn't speak to her about things and she seemed annoyed. The hotel was clean, with a great atmosphere, and the live music was a welcome surprise. My partner slept great, however I did not due to being uncomfortable on the mattress and being able to hear guests coming and going from their rooms, I was pleasantly surprised to not be able to hear the music or crowds below. Overall a fantastic stay, very happy. Thank you.

Some bits great, some not so great

Firstly, the food and staff are great! The afternoon tea is amazing! The room was nice and clean and spacious with everything you need. Sadly although we paid a premium to have a sea view room, which we did so no complaint there (room 22), was directly above the bar area which had a large speaker above the bar near the ceiling therefore just below our floor. The first night I had to get up gone midnight to ask that the music be turned down. Which was done. The following evening I confirmed with the bar staff that the music would go off when the bar closed 11.30 ISH and it did. The other up and down side was there was live music on the Friday and Saturday evening which was louder than the bar music, lovely to sit down there listening to but again if in room 22 so loud there's no chance of getting a Granny nap in before dinner. Perhaps the hotel should look into improving the sound proofing in room 22 in particular. If I return I'll be more likely to go for a cheaper room at the back of the hotel and forego the sea view as it looks like most of the sea view rooms are directly over the bar and restaurant area.
