Holmeleigh Hotel

Good value

No Ariel back off Tv

Location pretty good as right next to South Pier & a very good Wetherspoons. Parking OK but very tight getting down the drive. If we had taken our normal family car it would not have gone through the gap.

The light switch did not work in the bathroom. We managed with the main light however it meant that the extract fan did not come on when showering. On the Sunday water was coming through the ceiling of the family room we had booked for our grown up children. Apparently there was a plumber fixing the shower in the room above. No other twin room available. The water did stop.

The TV wasn’t working no satellite as my daughter wanted to watch something

No tv

Friendly staff

Location

We were put in an attic type room, the young man who let us was pleasant and when he realised our ages said he might be able to allocate us a different room. We said it was okay as we are reasonably fit, but later realised the tv had no signal, the WiFi was intermittent and the bed was dreadful, we never slept for two nights, the bedding looked as if it had seen better days and so did the towels. Bath mat in toilet had stain on it, so we weren’t sure if it was clean or not. There is tea and coffee available but no breakfast, however Wetherspoon is just over the road so that wasn’t a problem. Room we were in was very small, we never saw anyone else while we were there and had to call the young man who let us in by phone if we needed anything, which I found was worrying in the case of an emergency.

The bed was comfortable

The double room is a double bed in a single room. Not enough space for 2 people. Bar was never open. Room not properly cleaned, can of hairspray from previous occupants behind bedside table.

It was close to where I needed to be on the south shore.

The room was not what I was shown on booking .com I booked because it showed a double room, single occupancy on 1st floor, what I got was a small double on 3rd floor, & the shower had no running hot water, the young man said he would get a plumber out to sort it, this did not happen at all , so on day 2 I asked if there was a vacant room with shower available I could use he said yes so on day 2 after travelling for 7hrs all the way from Portugal on day 1 I finally got my hot shower but still had to stay in the original room, day 3 shower still not fixed so had to use shower on floor below again 😡 I will not be reccomending this place to anyone. For £50 pr night + breakfast I stayed an extra 2 nights in the Esplinade hotel opposite the big Blue hotel in a 1st class double room with shower, double view windows of the big one ride & from the other widow a wonderful sea view the facilities were 1st class, attention to detail a lovely bar/entertainment room & pool room & free car parking, wonderful attentive family run host's.
