Everything ok but the breakfast scrambled eggs were stone cold and the salmon was part cold and part warm where it has been waiting on the hot plate and coffee took twenty mins to arrive. Would be nice to have oat milk in the rooms but lovely staff!

Excellent views

Lovely position for the beach and excellent views from the outside restaurant. (Shame about the wrinkly fake grass flooring) Attractive restaurant and tearoom Probably most unhelpful hotel I’ve ever been to but was good value If it had new stair carpets inside, new flooring outside and better trained staff it would be an excellent hotel

We have stayed before and all staff were friendly. However this stay some of staff not so friendly or helpful. No hangers in one of rooms booked and tv not working properly in another of the rooms we booked. The bar and restaurant is really nice but the Norfolk lounge needs updating. It needs cushions on sofas and needs making more comfortable. The continental buffet breakfast is basic for and needs more choice of fruit and yogurts.
