I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and I would not stay again
Cons:

The property was okay very old in date the Bar manager was very poor. We came down to get a drink at 10:45 on the Friday night only to get told the Bar is closed because he is too busy yet. The karaoke music was going on till midnight, our room was right above the bar and it was extremely noisy. We wouldn’t have minded if we could’ve sat down in the bar and had a drink but we got told that he was too busy and that the bar was closed. Very poor customer service.

Also, the TV was not working in our room. We got told it was going to be sorted out on the Friday and then again on the Saturday so we had to find somewhere else to go and watch the football as we did not want to use the Bar in the hotel because there was a wedding on and it was the same person and working behind the bar so we probably wouldn’t have got served again anyway

Mixed feelings about this one
Pros:

I liked that the room was big and I had a great view from the balcony.

Cons:

There was only 2 of each of cups, glasses and towels in a room booked for 3 people, had to go and ask at reception personally because they also never picked up the phone when I called. Also there was no furniture on my balcony, (there was some chairs at some balconies), and there was a lot of bird poo too.

Pros:

I loved the sea view from our family room. There was a separate room for the children with 2 singles and a really good size double room. There was a good size bathroom. The location of the hotel was great close to the sea front.

Cons:

The room was very dated. The bed wasn't comfortable. The bathroom was old but serviceable. There was no sound proofing so we heard everyone around us. They had a big coach trip in and the hotel was fully booked with them so they catered only for them in the restaurant. The swimming pool was closed for maintenance. Neither of which we were told about before we checked in.
