We stayed here for two nights in a Suite with a seaview. Trouble was the Balcony was off-limits due to planned maintenance supposedly. I suspect it's more symptomatic of gradual decline to the building emphasised by grasses, weeds etc. growing unchecked on flat roofs and other areas. External windows don't looked like they've been cleaned all season. The walls are very thin, you can hear conversations from adjoining rooms and floors are really creaky. Be aware, if you book a standard room with a seaview you might get a 'sea-facing' room as views are mostly blocked by unchecked garden and tree growth. On the plus side, staff are friendly and professional. The breakfast was of good/high quality content and service. I suspect that without the coach business, this Hotel would really struggle. The Hotel is very well located but is in terminal decline without major investment.

Nice hotel with great staff and good facilities. It’s shameful that they charge £10 a night to park in their own car park. I guess it’s a cynical way of having lower headline rates.

Blond Receptionist very rude and unwelcoming, maybe needs retraining! Garden Room was underwhelming, dog bed smelt heavily of dog. The quilt cover was inside out cover in hairs.. the bedroom furniture was very worn and dated. The paint work was very drab Weeds outside on patio. First time staying at this hotel will not be staying again..
