Not impressed
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

For nearly £300 for 3 nights, not even a breakfast thrown in, expensive drinks, had to take my lager back, because it was dreadful, if you had any decency you would reimburse me and my 9 year old Granddaughter who was not impressed with her stay, as you can see , not impressed

Wonderful staff & service
Pros:

Staff were super friendly and helpful during our stay. My son was even gifted an Easter egg too from the team for the Easter weekend which was a lovely bonus

Cons:

Above us were extremely loud and noisy meaning you could hear all conversations and jumping / banging around. This woke us up during the night multiple times and our child too.

Pros:

The location couldn't be better, and staff are mostly helpful and friendly.
The hotel is dog friendly which is why I chose to stay. I opted for the Executive King room with a sea view which was lovely and spacious, and the view of the beach was amazing. I slept really well for the first two nights.
I did eat at the hotel a few times and the food was decent.

Cons:

The cost of the room worked out at £135 a night - room only, for me and my dog, so for the money, I was disappointed in the lack of amenities. No mini fridge in the room, and only one sachet of milk on the tea / coffee station for the first couple of days, and only one teaspoon provided.
Toiletries were almost none existent, a tiny bar of soap, and a single use shower gel & body wash was your lot. I was also left without any toilet roll on the last day despite the request for the room to be serviced.
On the final night, there were random loud bangs coming from the bathroom late on, startling both me and my dog so I struggled to sleep. When I did manage to sleep, I woke to water on the bathroom floor which was strange.
