Overall we thought the general standard was very good.The toasters were in need of update ie new elements.Food and sevice were excellent.Lounge area was very comfortable.If we had aproblem the swimming pool needed attention .The access rails were loose and there was no security rails on the sides and around the side to hold if a problem arises.We look forward to visiting again.The management were visible and helpful.A rare change in ythis modern world!

We enjoyed our stay. Nice hotel, close to the water with beautiful views. The pillows were not great however. It took me a while to get to sleep as they were flat, bumpy and too firm. But the room had everything else that we needed. I would stay again.

Hotel is a bit basic clean and welcoming situated not far from train station and bus services also close to town centre which is like all others run down the harbour area is also a bit run down plenty of pubs nearby the swimming pool is OK.but there is no shower in the actual pool.area so when you come out Jacuzzi and Sauna you have to return to changing area shower and then return to the pool Food and Drink was not overly expensive and a good choice for Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

Staff were really really lovely. Nice feel to the place. Great amount of EV chargers on site. Place was clean. Smart tv in room which was nice. Only downside really was the walls are thin, so we could hear multiple rooms through the night.

Room was nice and clean and very warm and cosy. As per other reviews - the decor is very dated but this isn’t a secret and you know what you are getting.

Delightful hotel. Very clean and wonderful staff. It's not the most modern decor but that's part of the charm. It has an honest vintage interior but it's been well maintained. The swimming pool, spa pool and sauna were great and very quiet. The games room was a lot of fun. We were really impressed and would visit again.
