A perfect location, and a wonderfully quiet area. We were greeted with a warm welcome. Our rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable. The decking area with outdoor seating, and the indoor lounge areas are well designed. The staff were all extremely friendly.

Size of the room. Our particular check in woman wasn't very warm. Quite an aggressive tall man at breakfast (I was going over to see my husband and I was shouted at from across the breakfast room). Most staff were nice though.

Everything was fine with our stay, apart from the water being off throughout the whole hotel on the Sunday morning. This lasted for several hours. When it eventually came back on, we had to really rush to shower and get ready for a lunchtime function. Very stressful and it spoilt our visit.

Great hotel

Great hotel, loved the staff in the restaurant (breakfast & dinner). Great location too, on the beach and, importantly for us, right next to the railway station. Our only suggestion is that the reception staff would do well to be warmer and more accommodating.
