Noisy and smelly this time @ hotel we usually like
I do like this hotel. Staff always nice and decent food & bar. Room itself was tidy and clean but window open when we arrived letting in the smell of food from the very loud extraction fan outside our window. Had to close window to keep out smell which made room pretty hot. Fan was pretty noisy throughout the stay though one gradually gets used to it.

Our room 172 was clean, spacious and included an en-suite walk in shower.
Breakfast included English style cooked , yogurt & berries, cereals, fruits, toast with all jams, marmite and honey.
mini pastries were also available.
We ate in the dining room and from the bar menus.
Staff were very professional, kind and gave service with a smile. To note Mel from the Spa was fantastic, we had x2 full hour treatments each

Restful stay
A good restful stay. Really good location - walk down hill and get a taxi back up. Parking a slight issue but not a deal breaker. Rooms need updating but it is a standard seaside hotel. Best part of this hotel is the views - they are top notch.

Room for improvement
Good location. My welcome was on the brusque side of efficient, my room small but adequate, but as seems usual with single rooms, was out back overlooking the bins. With a bit of cosmetic updating this place could be a real gem and I would stay again. The listing states ‘pool’, but when I asked about this at the hotel I was told it wasn’t a swimming pool but a plunge pool in the spa (for which you have to pay extra). So slightly misleading in my opinion.

We booked this hotel as a last mimute thing for a surprise weekend away for a burthday.The hotel was spotless. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel had some amazing views and lovely gardens. We didn't get to use the spa as only there from a Saturday to Monday so can't comment on that, both the restaurant and galaxy lounge were lovely. Good food. Overall a really lovely hotel and we will definitely be returning.

Great Stay
Fantastic location, super clean, great staff and lovely food, only slight better if was the entertainment. There was a stand in lady with a guy playing the keyboards and the choice of songs was too depressing with not enough upbeat songs.
