Hatfield Lodge

Good place nice area staff great and room clean

We were Initially put in the Lodge room 2 opposite the hotel.Bed was awful and squeaky, curtains hanging down, VERY basic, but very clean. We asked if we could move room and they moved us to the hotel room 217, 2 singles put together.So much better as it made a super king! The only down side was once on your floor level, there are still a couple or more small flights of stairs to get to your room. A bit of a struggle with suitcases etc. Room was nice & clean, and tea coffee biscuits, info folder, tissues etc. Pillows were very firm but the young man on reception that evening went and found us a soft one.We used the bar, and the restaurant for an evening meal and for breakfast. Breakfast was a continental choice of fresh pastries yoghurts cereal toast etc, along with a choice of various cooked options for a set price (£15.95?)The terrace overlooking the sea was surprisingly warm and well shielded by a good glass screen. It was a great place to sit with a drink. We had great food all round, really tasty, well presented and good portions. The whole place had a great atmosphere and had really lovely staff. I’d definitely stay there again without hesitation.

We booked Hatfield Lodge, it felt a little like Student Accommodation. Whilst clean and pleasant enough it seems to be an add-on to the Best western across the road. Check in/out was done across the road and any bar/restaurant was also at the other hotel. The rooms were a little basic, but that possibly reflected in the price paid, bed springs were broken unfortunately and the linen smelt a little like a greasy restaurant. Food across the way was reasonable, a little pricey, but large portions compensated for a basic offering. I think if we had stayed in the main hotel the rating would have been higher but it may have cost more (I’m not sure on this point). If staying again I would possible stay at the main part and either pre-pay for breakfast or organise elsewhere. Location was very good, the ‘add-on’ feel to a better hotel let me down.

Very good experience, enjoyed our stay

Really nice hotel right on the seafront with a great bar and restaurant. We stayed in the lodge over the road and it was comfortable, clean and well stocked. Staff were generally friendly and helpful, and parking was ok, although generally busy and not easy to get a spot
