Great views!
Pros:

We liked the room with balcony, the view and accessories.

Cons:

Temperamental shower and would benefit from a hand rail to get in and out as quite slidy.
Loose toilet seat. Temperamental sink tap. Leaking plug in bath.

Pros:

The room was clean nice bathroom and tea and coffee tray 👌
We never got chance to use the pool ect but it looked nice

Cons:

The dubble bed was 2 single beds put together not comfortable at all when you want to sleep in the middle of the bed next your partner
The smell in the corridors was disgusting like greasy food
The food it's self was very disappointing the breakfast, poached eggs not cooked properly this put me off everything else for the whole day, deep fried mushrooms not nice full of oil hash brown was hard and dry. Food went to wrong table. Could of been so much better . Carpets on the walls in corridors also !!

Regular guest, favourite getaway break hotel.
Pros:

Location and facilities

Cons:

My balcony in my executive suite was so small , no table could fit in, and no space even for the small chairs provided......4th time in this hotel, avoid roon 126, as it is at end of building where it slants to corner....leaving no balcony space.....other than that, all good.

Great stay.
Pros:

The view from the room was spectacular. The bedroom up the stairs was great. Well stocked tea, coffee and hot choc. The onsite restaurant was lovely for dinner & breakfast. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Cons:

The only thing lacking in our opinion was the amusements for the kids.
But we could easily do without them.

Ok für die zwei Nächte
Pros:

Tolles Zimmer dank Upgrade...mit super Aussicht auf das Wasser.
Leider ist der nahe liegende Strand nicht ohne größeren Umweg erreichbar, weil eine zweigleisige gut befahrene Gleisanlage zwischen dem Hotel und dem Strand liegt.

Cons:
