Good location.

Great location. Helpful staff. Disappointed that they charge extra for parking, especially in the off season. It was advertised at £7, charged £10. When you pay £150 for a room, you’d expect the parking to be included

Overall a good stay

Overall the stay was good, we used the pool/leisure facilities and these were good. We were given a Sea view room when we didn’t pay for an upgrade - that was a real surprise. In terms of faults; the bath/shower mat was extremely dirty, we had to ask for a new one - this also was not the cleanest. The whole room could’ve done with an overall Hoover. The patio door was also broken and would not shut - during the strong winds it really whistled through here. Plus the balcony was closed off - probably a good thing as it looked dangerous and in need of repair.
