Lovely stay, just would need a different room
Pros:

Whole stay was lovely, breakfast really good. Rooms were clean.

Cons:

I didn’t notice any WiFi. The room was really stuffy even though there was a fan. Unfortunately we were in room 24 at the front and the noise from early hours of the morning was awful. I would definitely stay here again, but ask for a room at the other aide of hotel which I presume are sea views.

Pampered
Pros:

Loved the location and view of the beach and sea, super kingsize bed, and the breakfast was phenomenal. The staff were exceptional.

Cons:

As it was the middle of summer a mini fridge freezer would have been a wonderful facility, and needed.

An amazing place to spend a bank holiday weekend
Pros:

We expected three star accommodation and The Hotel and their staff exceeded our expectations in every area. Particularly the amazing Seaview room and the wonderful breakfast made our stay so lovely and special. Our daughter has disabilities and she had no problem accessing everything she needed to in the hotel. Thank you very much for making our bank holiday extra special.

Cons:

The only thing we could’ve hoped for would be a slightly larger room, but with the amazing sea views, in room coffee facilities and lovely plush towel towels, we hardly noticed.
