Pros:

The health & leisure , lounge was nice too, as was Dave

Cons:

Room was dreadful, dirty, unsafe wires, and when I book a bed I expect a bed not just two boxes on wheels that part when you turn over. The doors didn't fit so light streamed in around the doors and privacy hole in the door, shining into the wardrobe mirror and my eyes. It was NOTHING like any of the photos online

We enjoyed our stay. The grounds to the rear are beautifully kept but the front needs work
Pros:

Dave the concierge gave great parking advice! The breakfast man was very friendly and the pool attendant man was superb. Beautifully kept gardens and lawns.

Cons:

Some breakfast items were cold. Condiments were not good at all! However the warm stuff was very nice. The front of the hotel needs work. Torn astro and headless statue? Let's the place down which is a shame

Needs a huge upgrade !! Security should be patrolling at night.
Pros:

Seafront position excellent

Cons:

Had a terrible room by the leisure centre.
Woken by people queuing to get in at 7.45 am. Had to call reception at 5am from my phone as loud music and talking form the adjoining room. Had been going on since 3am with people k ok g on doors. Felt vunerable in that particular room. Doors out to garden from my room did not feel secure. Should have telephones in room. Breakfast was terrible. Overcooked and mushrooms tasted of stale oil. Hardly and choice or variety. Terrible cheap bread. I could go on. Manager quite aggressive with other guests who were complaining.
