Fantastic location, super clean, great staff and lovely food, only slight better if was the entertainment. There was a stand in lady with a guy playing the keyboards and the choice of songs was too depressing with not enough upbeat songs.

Mixed feelings
The views are spectacular, some areas of the hotel are dated , needs modernisation in rooms , we where there on a big family weekend , the set menu at dinner was not very good , a set menu price with very minimal quality most said its was ok , mine was inedible, very disappointing, set menu needs to be better quality and bigger portions, drinks where reasonable

Staff were lovely, property showing signs of wear and tear. Otherwise nice property. Found lighting was too bright in the entertainment areas, thus not giving that cosy feeling.

Superb location with coastal views in a well kept building. Excellent and plenty of free car parking. Food including breakfast of a very good standard. Rooms clean, comfortable and well maintained. All staff extremely friendly. Bar facilities and outdoor seating very good. Spa facilities on site. A good 20mins walk up hill from the harbourside. There is a bus service that stops a 10mins walk away.

Worst mattress I have ever slept on
A comfortable sleep is the primary objective for any hotel but these mattresses (both on the double and single in our room) should have been placed in the dump a few years ago. You could feel every spring and it rolled you to one side. The staff provided a duvet without a sheet to place over the mattress as the solution. I didn’t note there was no A/C as I took that as a given for a hotel near the beach, so a fan had to be requested from the barman as there was not a receptionist present at the desk when we attempted calling and then visiting. A real shame, as the building and location are great. They just need to reinvest in updating their facilities. Oh, and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work so that didn’t help with the heat in the room, as the windows barely opened.
