Nice hotel, poor food. Great prom.
Pros:

The room was good. Comfortable and the view of the bay was excellent. The hotel was warm even in the depths of winter. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The dinner was very poor obviously precooked and delivered in a van. The standard was poor quality pub food. It ruined a otherwise enjoyable stay. We won't be back.

Great stay, but with some minor issues.
Pros:

We liked the hotel overall, it was just the fact that our room was completely separated from the main hotel, yes it was shown in the picture, I realised it when we were being checked in. The location was great, right on the seafront, the food was great too.

Cons:

As previously mentioned we didn't get overwhelmed by the fact that the room was away from the main hotel. In that room there were no signs about the boiling water from the tap, my wife burned her foot!
The light sensor at the balcony was going mad as soon it gone dark, so the light kept going on and off all night ( no switch to turn it off). Even though the thick curtains we were able to see that light show.
Small things like lubing the door hinges wouldn't harm. Furniture in the balcony needs an upgrade (like the one next door) it's covered in grime because of the humidity, no chance to sit down with cuppa and soak in the view.

And here goes the grand finale: SURPRISE FEE!!
When I was making the booking there was no mention about some credit towards the dinner (£35 p.p) it was straightforward HALF BOARD, to my unpleasant surprise I had to find out this during my dinner when I've seen it at the bottom of the menu. No such information was given through the booking site (Booking.com). I believe this would be very helpful to know.

Won't be returning any time soon.
Cons:

Our accommodation was surprisingly located in an annex separate from the main hotel, a fact that was not disclosed at the time of booking. My room had visible rising damp on one wall, and access to the main hotel required walking via an external pathway which, given the heavy rain, was far from ideal.

My colleague, who was also housed in the annex, was kept awake throughout the night due to a motion-activated security light positioned outside his room, which repeatedly activated with no apparent resolution.

On arrival, despite having prepaid for a full breakfast, we were informed that breakfast did not commence until 08:00. As we had a business meeting beginning at 08:45, this made breakfast impractical. A request for a refund of the prepaid breakfast was refused.

We also inquired about using the spa facilities, only to be told that the hotel does not operate the spa and that it was closing at 17:30, which was again disappointing and misleading.

Prior to dinner, we waited 15 minutes at an unattended bar with no staff present. After approaching reception, we were told staff were “probably busy,” and then had to wait a further 10 minutes before being served. Dinner itself was unremarkable, with food quality well below expectations.

On departure the following morning, we discovered that reception does not open until 08:00, requiring us to settle the account by telephone. When expressing our dissatisfaction, we were told the hotel “does not cater for younger guests,” a remark I found both inappropriate and puzzling, particularly as I am 65 years old.

Overall, the experience was disappointing. Service levels were consistently poor, communication lacking, and flexibility non-existent. The hotel felt more akin to a retirement facility, and staff need to significantly improve their approach to customer service. I would advise prospective guests to manage expectations carefully before booking.

Pros:

Stayed here for my wifes birthday just before Christmas, very atmospheric entrance, was like stepping back in time with the wood paneling and fire crackling away. Decorated lovely, especially the archway into the bar area. The receptionist was fantastic, ( Rachel) we almost couldn't make the dates of our stay and she went out of her way to help us, was greatly appreciated. Food was fantastic and service great along with staff who I couldn't fault. Will definitely stay here again.

Still enjoyed out one night stay
Pros:

The room was good, but a little further away from the main building than i expected, dinner and breakfast were good, breakfast hot food plates need to be a little warmer, then food placed on the plates also stays warm.

Cons:

The dark walkway to the room late at night, think it could be possible to lighten the walkway a little better.
