Very attentive happy friendly staff. Food amazing in the restaurant for breakfast and a buffet. Views fantastic! Room was clean & tidy. Just a little dated could do we some new carpets, furniture. But fully understand that due to covid little or no income at all to spend on repairs. Had staffing issues that were explained to us when we arrived (I can actually understand that as the company I work for and many others have issues with recruitment. So don't actually blame the hotel at all) We will go back again next year.

Such a lovely place, just looks a bit tired in places. Plenty of room though! Perfectly fine for an overnight stay, for the price, recommended.

Meals in the restaurant are superb and Hotel has a great indoor pool and sauna. Great location overlooking the gannel and comfortable rooms. Decor could do with a spruce up though.

Now we read bad reviews on this place. Well our room was clean. Yes needs updating but bathroom bed all clean. We had a room with balcony country view. Its a little gem this place right on the beach and estuary. The bar the music just change it we are not that old yet. Its like being in the doctors. Breakfast is lovely and the staff are friendly. Would we come back yes we would.

Nice clean room nice staff on reception but less one star on the meal in restaurant chips very dry and Luke warm like canteen food also ordered a gluten free breakfast months ago the gluten free breakfast was items taken off that had gluten in them conpaired to other hotels give a full English with gluten free sausage and bread for a restaurant of this size it wouldn't hurt to have a loaf and a packet of gluten free sausage in the freezer. Bar music was also depressing but again it wasn't my taste but most people was much older then us in the bar.besides all that it was a nice stay lovely views on the balcony pool and sauna was nice.

The staff were pleasant and helpful at breakfast and dinner. The food was good and came up fairly quickly. The room we had was OK, the problem with it was the room was never made up all the 7 days we was there. We had to ask for clean towels after a few days. This why l am giving it 3*. Location was fine.

Excellent value for a 3 star, very helpful and friendly staff, nice clean basic room although the bathroom was very pokey. There was good service in the restaurant but food was burnt on the 2nd night but was edible and we mentioned it to staff who were apologetic. Overall a nice stay would go again.
