Peaceful stay by the beach
Pros:

Lovely old hotel, next to the beach, loved the pool was open til 9pm ! The lovely lady (green eyes, curly hair with glasses) gave me an “upgrade” as unfortunately the room I booked wasn’t dog friendly, so I got a double bedroom on the 2nd floor, although it wasn’t the sea view I booked , the view was still pretty. Had the complimentary tea/coffee and the toiletries, 2 single bed that were joined together, blow drier. The room temperature was always perfect, had a tv with all channels and WiFi was good speed.

Cons:

The only reason I don’t give a higher score is due to the bed mattress, although they were comfortable, they caved in , so my back and legs definitely felt it the next day . New mattress would be great.
£15 per evening for having a dog , a bit steep in my opinion ( I’ve stayed in other places where they didn’t charge at all or max was £10 per evening) would have been nice to know in advance (booking.com doesn’t state how much it is) .

For a 3* this hotel was ok. Tired and dated. You get what you pay for
Pros:

My initial thoughts weren't great re this hotel, however, I then realised it is a 3* hotel and I need to rate it accordingly. It is very tired and dated, but the pool is a big selling factor and was great, the staff were all very pleasant and the breakfast was ok with a choice of cooked items. The rooms although old and in need of some paint were clean and tea, coffee making facilities in the room were good.

Cons:

We were unlucky enough to arrive on an evening when there was very loud entertainment on, and having had a very long drive we were in our room relaxing relatively early. I think the position of our room didn't help as we were on the first floor directly off the stairwell (room 107). In hindsight we should have asked for a quiet room but hadn't considered this. We didn't know the hotel had entertainment which would have been something we would have avoided. The hotel seemed to have a coach party staying the days we were there which is probably why. On saying this, the entertainer did finish just after 10 and then it was quite quiet in the hotel.. It was quite an older age group staying there - bingo was on the following night! We could hear the tv in the room next door and upstairs but again the clientele weren't the noisiest. We also paid extra for a sea view but we were over the reception area so had a view of the single storey roof with the sea in the distance - not quite what we expected.
The night we arrived we ate in the restraunt, again lovely staff but not great food. May have been a poor choice but the thai green curry was tasteless with lots of cruncy onions and none of the aromatic flavours you would expect with Thai.

Mostly good with a few negatives due to the storm that hit
Pros:

There was a restaurant on site which we used a couple of times as we had booked a 6 night stay during which 2 days had storm Austen hit the area. Food was lovely and plenty to.choose from on the menu.

There were 7 car parking spaces on the road and we managed to get parked in one every day to avoid the £10 a day parking charge. Note that the £10 parking charge doesn't apply if you book direct with the hotel.

Cons:

The window in our room (#209) didnt fully shut and with the storm winds it kept flying open, several times while we were asleep and woke us up. The bed was on a raised area (had to step up to it) and the bed actually shook the whole first night from the wind. The storm also caused all plugs in our bathroom to constantly gurgle and produced a nasty sewage smell for the first 3 days in our room. If we had no storm hit I am sure none of these negatives would have happened, so was just bad timing and you cant control the weather!

We had breakfast at the hotel on the first morning (£13 each) but didnt go again as the window we were next to wouldn't shut and the whole room was cold so sat and had breakfast with our coats on. Again, weather played a big part in this so couldn't be helped.

Pros:

Breakie good and serving staff very prof and friendly. Pool great.

Cons:

Reception staff not smiley at all - which is the key to reception...They were helpful though - especially the one when I was leaving. single room was so small, like a Youth hostel. Seat came off toilet. Horrible email about strict and extortionate parking fees was the first welcome.

I’d stay again without hesitation.
Pros:

A great stay. I’m formerly a Newquay resident until recently moving to Spain, so have never stayed here but I found it really easy to have a quiet, comfortable couple of days. Thank you.

Cons:

The cooked breakfast in the morning was on the smaller side - but I understand businesses need to keep their margins tight.
