The warm welcome to start with, is always exceptional from Laura an excellent representative of the hotel. We stayed in room 302 which was a wonderful room with plenty of space and comfortable beds. Our waitress for dinner was also extremely friendly and helpful and we felt sorry that they had run out of a vast amount of menu items- but completely understand as it was a Sunday evening after a vbusy valentine weekend. The food was okay . Breakfast both mornings was great and we had been looking forward to having it in the conservatory fir a change - but actually it was way too cramped so glad to be back in the usual room the following day. Overall a fantastic stay as usual , finishing off with a lovely goodbye from Laura ( asked her name before we left as she really is an asset to the business)

My son and I stayed two nights. The staff in areas of the business were friendly, courteous and professional. The bedroom was spacious , comfortable and clean.!We had breakfast on two mornings and a one evening meal which met our needs. We were staying there because we were attending a funeral of an old friend and the hotel provided a delicious buffet.

The hotel is in a lovely position by the sea. It is very quiet and the twin room was big. The beds are very very comfortable and we both had a good night's sleep. There was a wide range of hot food to order for breakfast as well as cereal, toast and fruit. We'd definitely stay here again.
