Room clean and quiet. Staff were amazing and bar area and spa excellent. Room (in the lodge) a little dated and breakfast could have been hotter but overall would highly recommend. Staff were really lovely and helpful. Communal areas all more modern and stylish. Easy to walk to beach and into town. Parking. Thank you for a lovely stay.

8/10 Very good

Very lovely staff, clean rooms and convenient location. Great basic gym and the spa facilities were an added luxury. The only negative was the breakfast - the toaster was set on so hing it burned the toast in one round and the healthy fresh options were non-exixtent. The breakfast is not worth paying for for any plant-based people.

Lovely hotel close to the beach

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Staff were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the area. Situated near the beach, it was about 2 min walk to the beach and another 5 mins to the pier. We used the pool and facilities which were nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely and staff quick and attentive to clear dishes away.
