This is a great location with perfect views. As an ex restaurant manager for the last 14 years the service here is abysmal to say the least. No great and seat finally seated and left for 15 minutes no menu given. I had to go and find someone 3 staff round the corner just standing! Finally had an order taken another 2 tables arrived both sitting for at least 15 minutes 1 gentleman again had to go and find someone to serve.
I had to ask for my bill and while paying I mentioned to the server that the 2 ladies had been waiting for 20 minutes for someone to go over. Where was your duty manager controlling your restaurant? It wasn't even busy I dread to think what your service is like when it is!

Arranged a lunch for friends and family in memory of my father. Good service and good food. A nice informal atmosphere in a very nice setting for us to share good memories. Very kindly arranged for us to have quiet corner of restaurant. Would recommend for a family gathering.

Fantastic family stay! Stayed for 2 nights, in a spacious, bright sea view family room. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, who were all friendly and professional. Good choice at breakfast and the evening meal was lovely. Relaxed atmosphere, will definitely stay again.

It's a nice hotel in a lovely position next to the beach. The staff are friendly and the breakfast was very nice. The pool and spa area was closed during my visit due to refurbishment and this should have been mentioned on the home page of the website. I also don't think it deserves a 4 star rating if these facilities are not available.

Just returned from afternoon tea for 10 celebrating my mother in law's 80th Birthday. I can't rate our experience highly enough. Delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones with lashings of jam and cream. Impeccable service and lovely touches which made my mother in law feel very special.such as being presented with a glass of champagne and also a bottle of champagne from a lovely lady who told us she lives just down the road and came over to say Happy Birthday towards the end of our tea. a lovely surprise! Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again soon. We decided to treat ourselves with a few cocktails too.they were fabulous.
