"The staff on reception desk were very helpful and made sure we had no problems accessing our room , as my wife has just had knee surgery. The pool area needed some maintenance and the hotel in general needs attention. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the English breakfast was fresh and hot. The bar area was lovely and clean. Staff were very polite and prices were reasonable. We didn’t eat in the bar but the food that other people ordered looked tasty."

"The receptionist was lovely and we felt very welcomed and informed on arrival. We stayed in a superior room with sea view, the room was clean but could do with a few extras to make it feel more comfortable. For example a headboard for the bed, a higher table for the chairs so that you could eat at and a small fridge would have been useful. Overall, we had a lovely stay, brilliant sea views, location was lovely and a short walk along the sea to the town and we would return!"
