Good and not so good.
Pros:

The staff were really nice and friendly and the food was very good. The gardens are lovely to walk through to the gated entrance to the beach.

Cons:

I asked for a room with a view of the gardens or the sea, but we were at the back of the hotel with a view of the bins? The room was very small and cramped and very hot. We had to have the window open as far as it could be opened, but we were kept awake by the traffic from the busy road. It put a dampner our 25th anniversary break.

Pros:

de ligging. Op wandelafstand van het strand en een mooi park.

Cons:

Alles was redelijk basic. Het ontbijt was basic en de kamermuren waren extreem dun. (we hoorden mensen in de gang, boven on en op de trap aanpalend aan onze kamer.

A excellent stay, everything of a high standard including all the staff.
Pros:

I had breakfast at the hotel during my stay and in the evening dined in the restaurant. T he food was of a good standard. And on my last day in the afternoon, I had a cream tea, again very good. The location was ideal, so near the railway station and enjoyed walking in the grounds of the hotel.

Disasterous last night
Pros:

Staff were lovely fantastic breakfast lovely setting and views amazing bus stops just outside with a good bus service

Cons:

Hotel rooms very tired in need of decoration and repairs only one lift which was out of order as a 73 year old i found the 39 steps up to my room very strenuous although the staff were very polite and helpful more often than not reception was unmaned what did frustrate me more than anything on our last night we decided to book a table at the hotel at 8.00pm because of a very nice a la carte menu posted on their web site after 3 pints of cider and a lovely view of the eclipse we got shown to our table and given a menu that was not even close to the one on the website there was nothing on the menu we wanted it seemed to me all they was offering was the d b b menu when we asked the waiteress we got told itz the only menu available and we change it daily so getting a taxi down to town we finished up with fish chips at finn mcolls which were amazing there was a pool room with a large rip in the cloth

Hotel sanierungsbedürftig
Pros:

Am besten war die Lage des Hotels. Zum Hotel, das auf einem Hügel liegt, gehört ein großer Park, der Richtung Meer abfällt. Es gibt einen privaten Zugang zur Seafront und das ist schon ein toller Vorteil.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit in einem Indoor-Pool zu schwimmen und dazu bekommt man auch Handtücher gestellt.
Mit Glück bekommt man auch einen Parkplatz am Hotel, garantiert ist er aber nicht.

Cons:

Das ganze Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und gehört dringend saniert. Der Lift ist defekt und eine Reparatur anscheinend nicht in Sicht. Am Schlimmsten aber ist der Personalmangel. Beim Frühstück fällt das besonders auf, aber auch sonst sieht man, dass sie mit der Arbeit nicht nachkommen.
Deshalb ist auch der relativ hohe Preis nicht gerechtfertigt.
