Hotel is doing great deals at the moment. The sea-fronted rooms are wonderful, make sure you get one! Breakfast can get a little congested despite the requirement to book. Coves left and right, sea very accessible, coastal paths a real joy

Comfortable room, truly wonderful staff (all of them) and good food. We would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend it. One minor comment is that the dining room furniture is a little 'functional' and didn't quite reflect the excellent food and service.

I go to this hotel on Sunday afternoons, It a very nice place to sit, have a cream tea or afternoon tea, watch the sea and listen to the live music. Staff are always friendly and helpful. It's dog friendly too so that's could be a bonus for some.

Lovely hotel in a wonderful place. Staff were excellent, and very busy. Rooms were comfortable and food was good. A little too dog friendly for us, as they had access all area's.

We went for afternoon tea which was a Christmas present from or Daughter and Son in law. We had a table with the most wonderful view and our tea was lovely. Finger sandwiches and a lovely cream tea with warm scones and small cakes. The Hotel is elegant and the staff were friendly and attentive. A real treat and highly recommended.

Really nice chilled hotel. Great for families with dogs. Separate room for children in garden suite to let the dog out made our weekend a very relaxing one. Friendly and very helpful staff. No charging for cars but they plugin through window. It's time they install a charging point. The beach is a stone throw away. Lovely stay. We'll be back.
