Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located above a pub, which might lead to noise and crowds during events, but it's close to the beach and amenities. The rooms are basic, small, and on the top floor without a lift, making parking a challenge. The service is friendly and accommodating, although attention from staff can be lacking at times. The dining experience can be enjoyable, but waiting times may be long. The location is convenient for beach access and a short walk to the town center, although parking can be tricky during busy periods.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms at a good value, with friendly staff. The location is bright and perfect for beach access, although noise can be a factor from surrounding activities. The dining experience is satisfactory and reasonably priced, but improvements are needed in service cleanliness and attitude.
The hotel's rooms were lovely and very clean, albeit very basic without a phone, requiring trips to the bar for everything. Some areas needed repair. The service was excellent and accommodating, even providing water for our dog. The location was ideal for beach and town access, although noisy at times due to nearby activities. The dining experience was good, offering English and vegetarian options, though it was in a local run-down hotel. Rooms were comfortable and clean, service was friendly and helpful, but a bit noisy at times due to the pub atmosphere.
