Room very clean but bed a bit too firm. Champagne bar lovely but drinks a bit on the expensive side. The main bar on ground floor is tired and a bit smelly and the coffee was awful. Pool and jaccuzi/sauna/steam room are fabulous. Very helpful friendly staff.

The breakfast orange juice was awful. Surprised they charged for extra items such as eggs benedict. Fresh coffee would have been better than machine made in a 4 star hotel. Surprised to be asked to pay £50 deposit at check in as security against final bill. Dinner at Coast was very nice.

Thought this was a really nice hotel, away from the rat race and perfect if you’re using shuttle or ferry. Shame that our view was over the car park but it was only an overnight stay. Would stay again and try and get some use if facilities

Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Room exceeded expectations. Was very clean and comfortable. Was a bit disappointed in the pool facilities. Pool itself was quite cold and the ladies changing rooms rather tatty and not so clean. Would happily stay again if in the area.

Very comfortable room and so quiet. Breakfast buffet was great with an amazing selection although only rubbery scrambled egg available on the buffet but poached or fried could be ordered. Perhaps some of these could be on the buffet servery for those who do not want to wait. All staff were friendly and efficient. Gardens were a feature but weather precluded a longer appreciation of them. Easy to find and a good seafront location away fro the town centre.
