“In my opinion, this hotel's location hits a sweet spot, convenient to both South and North Bay attractions. I noticed the hotel's dog-friendly policy extends beyond lip service, even benefitting a local animal charity. The sea views and private terraces strike me as particularly special, and the recent updates make it a smart choice.”

easy access clean room great steak navigation issue impractical bed budget breakfast

The location allowed easy access to the centre. The room was clean. The breakfast included a great steak.

The confirmation message lacks clarity regarding the dead end, causing navigation issues. The four poster bed seems impractical. It moves and hits the wall.

sea view parking space good breakfast

i enjoyed my stay. the king room sea view had great views (really lovely). the space for parking was a plus for me. breakfast was also quite good.

the heating went off at 11pm, then came on in the morning for a little, a bit chilly during the night.

the hotel is close to two beaches. this made it easy to access both areas for walks and entertainment. a nearby route provides easy access to the beachfront for those who walk.

Excellent Hotel Experience

freshly prepared breakfast free wifi easy access

The team showed great hospitality . Breakfast was freshly prepared. The menu had several options. The hotel provided free, strong WiFi. I recorded speeds around 80mbit down. I liked the excellent route to the beachfront I discovered, it made access really easy.

I had some issues with parking, I was asked to move my car soon after arrival. It felt a bit inconvenient. I wish there was more available parking on the premises.

Location

The hotel is near the Castle. The walk is nice. There is a route to the beach down past the church and parking. It only takes about 10 yards. it is a good spot.

A full English breakfast was cooked to order. It tasted very nice. Rump steak was cooked to perfection. It was piping hot. The continental breakfast seemed a little basic.

The room was large and warm! the heating system worked well. I appreciated the heated bathroom flooring and beautiful decor. I had a room with a patio door. That was great for the dog.
