Pros:

Location was convenient

Cons:

After 2.5 hours talking to booking.com and 5 phone calls to the hotel I arrived to be told I'd booked two rooms instead of one. The cutlery and crockery was dirty. The breakfast was cold, over cooked and the same every day. Room service was just clean towels. Nothing more.
Far too few staff, bar not always attended and hugely expensive. Never felt welcome or wanted. Creaking floor boards in room above kept me awake until they went to sleep. Room was not what I'd asked for. Overlooked the bins and main road. Would definitely not recommend this hotel or area. Maybe try shaldon.

Nice little get away
Pros:

Great location, close to the town, beach and train station. The breakfast was okay and the staff were helpful. Set in lovely grounds with a small swimming pool.

Cons:

Unfortunately our first room's bathroom smelt very unpleasant. We did ask to change rooms after the 1st night and they did relocate us. Also the rooms are a little tired and would benefit from a revamp.

3rd time not a charm
Pros:

Friendly staff, they always have a smile and offer great service

Cons:

I've stayed here twice before, however, on this occasion I felt the money paid did not warrant the club room in comparison to what I had last time. The room was smaller, no air con, the electric fans in the heat proved little Comfort as the room was more like a sauna. Extremely uncomfortable heat. The hand towel had staining on it, and when I requested a room clean after the 3rd day, it was clear that the same towel had been picked up and folded on the bed, utterly appalling. Not impressed, and won't be staying there again

Welcoming hotel, with extensive gardens and a pool,on outskirts of town- exceptional staff are available all times
Pros:

Good location a short walk from the town, the grounds are well cared for and a mix of suntraps and shady glades.
The pool was a fantastic way to cool down and relax- never too busy either

Cons:

Our room was very hot in the recent heatwave- a small ( but noisy) fan was provided but not too effective
