Hotel was nice but the bed was not to good. The food was over prices £35 for breakfast. The biggest disappointment was that the pool closed to kids at 6 pm and the pool was the reason we got the room there.

Nice friendly hotel. Reception staff very helpful. Leisure area staff great. Disappointed the jacuzzi etc area was closed. Breakfast was great, staff fantastic.

Shocking

Stayed here for a special occasion and were terribly disappointed. Had to book a superior room to fit family in. Room was dated and in poor condition: parts of taps missing, corrision on lights, marks up walls, furmatire heavily stained / laminate finish coning off. Also, even with the window open, there was no air in the room. The fan provided was dropping to bits - missing screws on front cage, missing buttons / parts to change speed of fan, and the oscilation had broken! Staff were freindly and helpful but state of the room really spoiled our stay.

Times gone by.

Just a two night stay for an event only a stone’s throw away.The room was spacious and bright, a great view of the south bay through the double doors, very comfortable bed with two armchairs a small table. We had two wonderful meals in the evenings, along with a fantastic breakfast spread. The staff were very friendly and easy to talk too. Above all a very lovely hotel in a beautiful location.

A good and enjoyable stay. Service was good but rooms could do with a bit of TLC. Breakfast was good. One of our parties room was in a poor state which upon complaint to reception we were promised a upgrade on next visit but we still haven't received an email on this.

There is nothing 4 star about this hotel. The room was like walking into my grandmas house. Very old and ourdated. Floorboards were creaking everywhere you walked. The rooms weren't soundproof at all which meant we could here the room upstairs walking around, talking and their TV all night. The room view was horrendous facing a chimney which mean we couldn't even open the window. The room was extremely hot with no AC, just a basic fan. We booked 2 nights but left after 1!. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here.

The room was very “vintage”. Window had to be kept open with some sort of wooden block. We had dinner at “Taste” inside the hotel. The starters were fine - watermelon and feta salad and a prawn cocktail. For our mains we had sirloins and we asked for them to be rare - one arrived rare and one was medium with soggy oily chips. £114 total for our meals and I definitely don’t think it was worth it at all. No pints on tap on day 1 of our stay as the taps weren’t working (over Easter weekend). On day two, one tap was working because a staff member “jippoed” the tap somehow (which we know because bar staff were chatting away as if there were no customers present). Ordered a simple plate of chips for my toddler which took a whole hour because apparently the system didn’t put it through to the kitchen??? Staff were all really miserable, short off and not very helpful. We asked for a cot in our room and it was simply plopped in there for us to set up (cot was also stained and dirty). The highlight of the trip- a whopping £5 for TAP WATER to be brought to our room as they had NO BOTTLES OF WATER!!! We were brought two Carlsberg branded pint glasses of tap water and I was flabbergasted. Was very excited to leave this premises. Will not be returning. It’s a cash grab of a place with very little to offer young people/families.

I wish I had listened to the reviews. This place is not worth the money we paid, boiling hot room, view was awful, beds uncomfortable. Had to pay more money to park up the street.... Safe to say we won't be returning.
