Terry, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Bar ok. Room was a bit spartan. Lino on the floors, no carpet. A noisy extractor fan that keeps you awake. Good location close to the sailing academy.

Martin did everything what he could for everybody to feel comfortable..
Janos, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was clean but basic. Not much to do in the immediate area but handy for the sea. Breakfast was available if a bit ramshackle as not adequately monitored to ensure there was sufficient food. Had to ask for them to replenish coffee and hot food.
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were very amiable and courteous. My case was Carried up to My room . Which was then and changed to the lower Floor as the Syairs were too much for Me . This was My second visit and would definately recommend. I will be back around the end of the year.

Just ok
Wasim, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not too bad

Hotel is in a secluded location but is quiet and easy to get to free parking with limited spaces. Lots of activities nearby and places to visit. The hotel exterior looks old but the interior is all modern the room seem to be newly modernised although the beds are are soft and bouncy. Service was ok there is a really cute receptionist. Install a carbon monoxide alarm in there is a kettle in the room with tea and coffee but no biscuits. The shower is a beard too cumbersome to use the water didn't appear to get too hot. Breakfast was a full English but disappointing to see there was no pastries or cakes.
Ian, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Clean, quiet, staff seem friendly enough and it’s very different to hotels I’ve been to in the past.
Tracey, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Dyrt i forhold til hvad man får for pengene. Beskidt på værelset, ikke særlig god morgenmad og elendige parkeringsforhold. Alt - alt - for få pladser tilknyttet hotellet. P vagter tjekker alle ugens syv dage. Måske kan man få en plads, men så skal der betales.
