Great Views & Peaceful

Seaview room for two and a small dog, lovely outlook to the English Channel. Dogs have a newly refurbished room in the downstairs area as they cannot be accommodated in the main bar or restaurant.

Curates egg....

A typical mid range seaside hotel. Like the curates egg, good in part. Trying to be objective but honest, so staff were nice, breakfast and dinner good and lovely sea views. On the other hand reception was a bit like a small guest house but it worked. Our room/suite was potentially a very nice room spoilt by a miniscule bathroom about 1.5m square and virtually impossible to get two people in there at once! And the other crazy thing which apparently has been mentioned before? The TV is on the wall behind the seating area so you look away from it if you sit down, or stand up to actually watch it! Come on management.

When you drive onto the car park and view the entrance to the hotel you can be forgiven fir wondering if the accommodation is going to be okay. However as soon as you reach reception and are greeted and checked in so warmly you realise you should never judge a book by its cover. The view from reception overlooking the sea, the beautifully appointed room pristine clean - it all said "welcome andcrekax".

The Pines Hotel is in a great location with amazing sea views. It has a staff that at all times in every area we used gave fantastic service. The quality of the food served at Breakfast and in the Pines Restaurant in the evening, was of a very high standard. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful sea view picture window. The only little niggles for us was the self service coffee at breakfast which could be improved by having a machine that served coffee by the mug. Rather than the very small cups provided at the moment. Also the harsh lighting in the dining room in the evening.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a very nice hotel. The standard of decor was excellent and our room well up to expectations. It was evident that many of the guests were on return visits which is always a good sign.
