+ Nice location with sea views. The grounds are well maintained with plenty of outdoor space. The front of house staff were very pleasant and helpful. The gym was spacious and well equipped.
− There were many parking spaces but they were almost always full. The hotel’s facilities are quite dated. The indoor swimming pool had murky water with oily-like stuff floating on the surface. I suspect guests don’t shower before using the pool. Not surprising because the showers are in the changing rooms instead of the poolside.

+ Great location, friendly staff, clean room and a great breakfast.
− The room we stayed in wasn’t very soundproof and it was right next to a corridor door. The pool wasn’t really for relaxing in due to the amount of children in there, but we went in half term so that’s understandable.
