"Perfect location and friendly staff, but the hotel is very dated"

4.0

The location and the view were stunning and staff were friendly

It is very tired. The bed was lumpy (needed a new mattress), and the service was very slow in the restaurant.

"We had a great time on our 45th wedding anniversary, location, food, staff, room, were great. Thank"

9.0

Amazing location. Third floor rooms best views and sliding patio doors. Double room with balcony on third floor very well equipped. Staff great helpful and friendly. Evening meal excellent. Breakfast buffet plenty of it and good selection. Plenty of parking. Easy access to beach.

There are two different variations of Sea view rooms with balconies - we upgraded to the one with better views, fridge, wider bed, wider patio doors better furniture etc which we were not aware of when we booked - perhaps our fault. No problem upgrading though, but it made all the difference to our one night stay.

"Good stay. Hotel needs updating in some places. Great location"

7.0

Breakfast was excellent . Location was great.

The bathroom was very tired. The taps and bath were very worn and discoloured but the shower was excellent needs a shower screen instead of curtain. There was no information regarding the hotel facilities in the room. We paid extra for a harbour view with balcony but still overlooked the carpark which was disappointing.

Room was large, great view from the balcony over the harbour. Breakfast was exceptional in variety and quality.

The shower over the bath sprayed water over the floor, but that might have been my fault.
