We were quite disappointed with our stay. We came back from a show (approx 9.20pm) to be told there was no way we could get any food. The kitchen was closed. We were happy to have something in our room but there was nothing available. We couldn't believe as residents that we could not get any food in an establishment. The pool was very cold too and the music was very loud and clearly audible from our room late into the night so not ideal with a young child. The breakfast was nice and the waitress serving was very kind and attentive.

Leisure centre POOL was excellent especially the times that it was open from 06:30 am. Great. Cups in bedroom MUCH TOO SMALL PLEASE Put in a decent sized mug or cup . You also need at least ONE LAMP with a LED lightbulb that is bright enough to read with. All the lights are yellow light and very dim !!!!

Lovely hotel. Very nice ambiance and quality downstairs and the room was good. Good to have a pool to use though I’m not a fan of restricting hours for family. Overall I’m glad we stayed here and it was very close to a sensational beach!

Great location and lots of parking. Short walk to the town. Friendly check in and complimentary desserts in the room were provided as it was our wedding anniversary. The room was a really good size and looks like it has a recent refurb. The leisure centre staff were very friendly and the pool was of a good size. A good size and tasty breakfast. We did not have an evening meal but used the bar for drinks. All in all a really good stay.

We stayed overnight for a wedding nearby and wish we could have stayed longer. Lovely area, and surroundings. The bar area downstairs is excellent and the room was ideal (slightly dated but everything we needed and we had a nice quiet sleep). I have to leave a note for the Collette in reception, she was able to arrange an early check in, and book a taxi as well as just being lovely to deal with. If im in the area again, this will be my hotel.

Amazing location. Food over priced and not the best. Hotel is really a solid 3 star trying to be more. However needs a complete cosmetic overall throughout. FYI don’t take rooms at back overlooking cemetery and above events hall- loud. Checkin lady Emma is the best. Smart and on the ball. Cleaning staff also friendly and greet you with a smile. Service when needed was very quick I.e needing water, toilet paper, ice pack etc.

To ensure that the key cards actually work for the rooms, probably updating the system would be a great ideal.

Location is great, lovely sunny view while eating breakfast in the morning, ample parking and warm welcome. We’re a mother and 2 daughter over night getaway and it was perfect for us to chat and relax. We all commented next morning however, that the speaker music plays in the corridor all night and you can hear it inside the room which given the hotel is so quiet, this music lets that side down. Also we visited the pool next morning, were greeted and given towels, we entered the pool without swim hats. We had no idea we needed them, another swimmer commented on it to us. I think along with presenting the towels, the attendant should be letting hotel guests know this. Our lovely little getaway is a solid 8/10!

On a positive, the staff were very friendly and helpful, however, the food was some of the worst I've had on my frequent business travels. All of the 3 dishes were clearly microwaved. The dishes were warmer than the food. The chicken wings and water residue, the chowder was watery and without any flavour. The apple crumble was awful and arrived within 3 minutes of ordering and had been clearly shoved in a microwave. For the price paid it was horrendous. With regards the rooms, they are a bit dated. Though I had a coffee pod machine which was good and the view from room was nice.
