Rooms were boiling hot, the wind howled through the bathroom tiles if you opened the window. The WiFi didn't work and neither did the socket by the bed.

The outside of the hotel looks very run down, the rooms are clean, comfortable beds, however, the corridors need updating and redecorating, lovely dining room and the staff are excellent 5 stars for dining room and staff, excellent staff at the reception area too.

The outside of the hotel looked a bit unpleasant but inside it looked beautiful but if you looked in the rooms there were stains on the bed frames, curtains and the water pressure was awful

Room was very basic, shower leaked and trying to get the temperature right was a nightmare. Room was too hot and the small fan supplied didnt make any difference. Carpet was stained. The wifi was incredibly weak. There was no pre warning about a function happening so had to put up with incredibly loud music late at night. Was informed due to this function we would probably struggle to get in to the resturant after 5pm. The vending machines in the lobby toilets made us question the purpose of the place. The decor in some parts looked like something from the 70s. Breakfast was good except having to wait an extra 5 minutes for the eggs to be added to the buffet. The best thing about it was its proximity to the beach. Certainly dont think it was good value for money. Wouldnt recommend a stay longer than 1 night.

Don't let the outside appearance put you off. The staff were lovely, it was nice and warm, very clean and nicely decorated. The walls are a bit thin though so the sound proofing is not great.

Room smelt quite musty when I walked in. I gave up on a shower in the morning as it was running for over 5 minutes & was tepid at best. Evening meal & breakfast was great, nice friendly staff throughout

While the outside of the building made it look rather run down and a mess , the inside was quite nice and very clean , beautiful location on a huge beach with a very impressive tide to watch. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Stayed overnight to be close to the office. Reception is nice, clean, spacious. However there was a £10 extra charge for my pet which I only found out at check in. The room was very dated. It was extremely hot. As soon as I entered I turned the radiator to the lowest setting, opened the window as wide as possible and it was still far too warm hours later. There was an event on so the music was loud and worse from the open window. No ironing board or iron- had to request these. Brought my own water for my dog and because the room was so warm even it was roasting
