Great location and lovely indoor pool

Lovely hotel in a great position, clean rooms, it was extremely hot though and no air con or fan provided. Nice big smart tv in the room also tea & coffee facilities. We had a sea view overlooking the pier. Breakfast was average, they need to have warm plates though as the beans were stone cold when I got to the table but I think they were cold when I put them on my plate! Plenty of choice for breakfast that was self service. We used the swimming pool as well, had an hour slot that was pre booked, had to pay an extra £5 for this as we were only bed and breakfast. Overall pleased with our stay here.

Super welcoming and a hearty breakfast

Great location, free parking, very friendly staff and an amazing breakfast included in my rate. My room was bijou but it did the job. I was also very impressed that the manager personally responded to me when I left some feedback.

Not the best.

The Hotel service didn't start off very well. Despite having paid up front through Hotels.com - the receptionist was determined that I still needed to pay. This was despite me having the credit card statement showing the payment - and the Hotels.com receipt. Turned out.. they needed to charge the service provider. If you are considering to use the Hotel restaurant- don't bother. The chances are they will be fully booked with their Coach visitors. And there's only options between 6-8.30 pm. The rooms are ok at best. No form of air con - so open windows. Which with the amount of Seagull activity (or Wednesdays Bike Night)- better have some very good ear plugs. The bathroom was tired. Oh and forget about advertised Platinum perks. Feedback really is a gift.

Staff were brilliant and menu fine and very reasonably priced. Spa was a bonus, especially the pool but will soon need refurbishing. Real ale, Otter, nice surprise. Down side was the EV charging, which was essential for us. When I phoned Project no one was in the office.This is not acceptable. They rang me back 24 hours later!
