    This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, parking, and a relaxing bar area. On my first stay, the staff helped me with a room issue at night, which I remember well. I recommend enjoying the darts and billiard tables. I'm coming back for Christmas!

    Warm vibes and comfy stay

    I had a blast during my two nights here. The staff were super friendly, making me feel right at home. Room was cozy and had heated bathroom floors – why doesn't every hotel do that? Breakfast was delish too! Just wish the hot water was more reliable, though.

    stunning sea
    spacious layout
    outdated decor

    The King Suite with Sea View offered stunning vistas of the coastline, providing a picturesque backdrop every morning. The spacious layout of the room made for a comfortable stay, although the furnishings felt basic.

    The £185 price tag for the suite seemed steep considering the room's outdated decor and basic amenities. The central heating remote was non-functional, leaving our stay a bit chilly. We encountered a curtain that had fallen off its hooks and a quite meager amount of toilet roll on arrival—more could have been done to ensure cleanliness and comfort. the breakfast options were underwhelming, lacking variety and freshness, which left us wanting more. Access to the room was a trek, requiring two flights of stairs with luggage, which could be a hassle for some guests.
