Pros:

We have stayed here before so new that the location to the beach and town were great

Cons:

Since our last stay it seems to have become less personal and more about the importance to them of the coach party guests. For example when we went for breakfast we were told to sit in the bar because the coaching holiday guests were in the dining room. We were also told it would be best to go for breakfast around 9am because the coach guests would be down for their breakfast first ! I asked for a fan in my room previous to arrival and what I got was a broken fan that didnt work. After 2 requests and chasing it up Mark gave us the fan from the lounge. Our room was so hot even with the fan. The sun shone on our window all day so we closed the curtains to keep the heat out only to come back to find housekeeping had been in and opened them wide. we stayed out until 11pm as it was too hot in our room to sleep. Then the morning of leaving we found out whilst chatting to members of the coach holiday that they had 2 fans in their room !!! They were also shocked when we told them how much we paid for our room when they had paid £399 for the coach holiday which was all inclusive including a 4 night stay , breakfast and an evening meal at the Leam.
I strongly suggest that if you are going to just stay via booking.com avoid this place. It is not as good as it used to be when we stayed before. Its more about money now and less about guests unless you are on a coach. we will be staying elsewhere next time. The only positive I can give is how lovely Mark is, a credit to them and a true gent.

amazing stay cant wait to return
Pros:

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a brilliant experience. The location was perfect, with everything we wanted within easy walking distance. The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, which really made us feel at home.

A special thank you to the team for decorating the room for my girlfriend's birthday. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the occasion even more special. We really appreciated the extra effort.

We'd definitely recommend this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Cons:

Excellent location, friendly staff.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was clean throughout, and our room was a good size.

Cons:

The hotel is looking quite tired and would really benefit from a refurbishment. We had hoped for a sea-view room, but unfortunately none were available by the time we checked in, even though we arrived a little early.

Our room had a glass door, but it couldn't be opened, and there was no window, fan, or air conditioning. With the hot weather, the room became very uncomfortable. By the time we realised this and found that the door couldn't be opened, reception had closed, so we didn't have the opportunity to ask for a fan, and really didn't want to ring the phone number to bother anyone .

The bathroom was clean, but the shower cubicle and shower hose were showing their age and could do with replacing. There was also a carpet runner between the bedroom and bathroom that had lifted up, creating a potential trip hazard. Thankfully, we noticed it before anyone was hurt.

The bed wasn't very comfortable, and the pillows were flat, so we didn't get a good night's sleep.

Overall, this hotel has plenty of potential thanks to its excellent location, friendly staff, and cleanliness, but it would really benefit from some updating and improvements to make guests' stays more comfortable.
