The evening meal was excellent and the staff very attentive and the dining room ambience was lovely.

Property was quiet, a bit of noise from, other guests but only to be expected.
This is quite a large hotel but we visited in February so I cannot vouch for what it is like in summer.
Location is good and is convenient for beach, supermarkets and public transport.
The staff we dealt with were efficient and friendly.
We would visit again.

The room was perfect for a solo traveller. Bright and clean. Despite being above a pub I never experienced any noise disturbance. Staff were all helpful and friendly. Great location in a lovely little town.

Harbour View room, top floor, has decent views of the beach and small harbour. Bathroom door handle needed a neater repair, room lock was a bit tricky and temporary heater had a broken foot. Super staff and breakfast was fine. Dining room view of the harbour great.

Fabulous location, good food, nice staff.
Bedroom door had terrible squeak, saw the handyman and he said he would fix it, but didn’t! In the morning took a long time to check out as the computer would not upload, it was 9.30! Parking £6.50 a night, not stated on the booking🙄

Beautiful hotel set in stunning gardens. The room was large, clean and had everything you needed for an overnight stay. The bathroom was also large with a great strong shower. There were toiletries supplied along with a hairdryer. The room was a bit damp smelling but I think maybe just a couple of hours with the window open before arrival would have solved that as no damp in the room. The hotel was quiet and had a relaxed feel. Would definitely go again
