Never again this property. No hot water, the carpet was wet next to the window, you can see the wall is wet too. Dirty rooms. No breakfast option. Very old muld smell.

The pictures advertising the room are deceiving. Was quite dissapointed to find a very shabby small double on our stay. The room is quite old, hasnt been maintained well with dingy corridors. Moreover we found a parking penalty for parking on their property even though we were customers of the hotel and parking should be free!!!!!

We enjoyed our two night stay, and would have liked to stay longer. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our rooms were clean, beds very comfy and the area was peaceful. Continental breakfast at £7.50 was reasonable and all we wanted, providing tea, coffee, orange and apple juice, cereal, croissants, crumpets and white or brown bread for toasting. Restaurant is clean and pleasant. The general decor of the hotel could do with renewal. Exquisite large stained glass window featuring a beautiful heron (?) , other birds and flowers was viewable from the stairs. We will return !

The room was far too bright, curtains were pretty much useless as even when open, there was no change in the light within the room at night. The general noise in the entire place was loud so didn’t make for an easy night sleep. Great location overlooking the sea. Car park could do with a decent tarmac job and lanes bays

Just the area its good... The hotel its very very bad... No hot water on 102 room Dirty behind imagination Smells like hell See view window like prison.. The room it was cut in the middle and centre of the window.. I fell sorry for the owner he has a very good location but the hotel needs investment to be in minimum condition
