Disappointing stay

Our room was in the annexe block. For the amount we paid, we expected more comfort. The decor was shabby, there was no seating in the room for 2 people and not warm enough to sit outside on decking- basically room too small for two people with little space for moving around comfortably. There were insufficient plugs eg for hair dryer in front of mirror. The shower curtain had mould on. We have visited the Cooden Beach for meals many times over the last 30 years so it was a real shame to be disappointed by our stay. Fortunately our evening meal and breakfast were excellent

This is my second visit since the refurbishment a few years ago. Alas, my room was again missing a two pin socket for razor or toothbrush charging. Something I find very annoying. There is also no plug in the basin; leaving the tap running to wash seems to me to be a waste of water. The door again was far from sound proof, anyone talking in the corridor is very apparent. Other than that, the room was clean and comfortable, as was the bar and restaurant. Reception is quirky, a table in a room with a couple of people stationed at it feels odd and out of place, but it functions. The location is fabulous, right on the beach. However, as there is little competition around the price for a stay is higher than I would have hoped for. It claims to be a four star hotel, which in many respects it meets (IMHO), but the points made above do let it down slightly.

I was not happy the hotel taking a service charge twice without asking if I wanted to pay one , especially as the charges for what we had I consider quite expensive,also as we were in a disabled room I thought a small frie might have been in room as we had medication ,I suspect they will say we could have requested one but it's the first hotel I have been in without one,the hotel is pleasant but very remote .

We have stayed at this hotel for the past 5 years and have seen the transformation that has occurred over recent times. My sister and I stayed with our elderly mother for 5 nights. I have to say that the staff at this hotel are exceptional. So friendly, kind and hard working. The half board menu was delicious and couldn’t fault the food. The rooms are of a high quality and whilst there was no availability this time for a mobility access room we found the ground floor room perfect for mums needs.

Great hotel right on the beach with big outside area both for drinking/eating or just soaking up the sun. Lovely room, comfy bed and pillows , great service. We ate in the hotels restaurant ,which I do not often do, so glad that we did, the food was excellent both for dinner and breakfast. Hope to return in the future.

Gorgeous spot and perfect hotel

Absolutely loved my stay here, so much so that I’m planning on a return trip next month. I usually hate business trips but in this case I enjoyed my time away from home. Food was delicious and I loved watched the sea while I ate my meals. Room was cosy and immaculate. Special thank you to Housekeeping for everything they did!
