I was pleasantly surprised by the superb location and views. Everything about my one night stay was impeccable with a possible question mark over parking. I was lucky finding a parking space on the promenade but in season it might be a problem.

Business stay
A warm welcome from start to finish accommodating with an early breakfast request. Lovely scenic views of the sea front and lovely bedrooms, the best hotel in the surrounding area by a huge amount.

Clean room, great view. Check out was a little early, especially for price paid. Was not advised the lift was locked at some point late evening so had to walk up to the 3rd floor when we got in from a night out. Felt charging for parking on top of room rate was unnecessary. Room rates seem high for off season

A great hotel. Excellent service throughout. Super friendly staff and excellent food. It was sad that so many people had cancelled their stay!! One moronic couple cancelled because a local restaurant was closed!!!! Unbelievable the food in the hotel was superb and would rival any restaurant!! I just hope the hotel survives this virus thing.

I spend my working life in hotels and as my wife had chosen this one, I didn't have any great expectations. Very glad to say I was wrong - this is a lovely hotel which I can't praise enough. Good location, lovely staff, spotlessly clean and everything worked which should. I don't often eat in hotels but we did here one night and it was the best meal of our break.
All in all excellent and I hope to return soon.
