The room was nice and big, with 2 good size TV's. The lighting was very poor in the room. The bathroom was spacious with an excellent shower. The bed was very comfortable. 2 good sized Seaview windows, both of which needed a good clean. Reception staff were very helpful and the bar area wascvery smart but there was no Sky TV, which they

The whole hotel was warm, bright cheerful and above expectations, but possibly understandably given the time of year and busyness of the Hotel, the restaurant was closed for dinner, although food was available in the bar

Lovely hotel. Room very spacious and clean. Incredibly comfy bed. My daughter and I really enjoyed the pool. Only thing that let the visit down was the room was very cold and a draft was coming from the window. Carpark was also like an ice rink, could have done with better gritting.

First room was in the new building,but we got moved as 356 wasnt dog friendly ?? We stayed in 358 in february for 2 nights with our dog so couldnt understand this , we asked for dog friendly and a sea view . Put us in room 131, this was in the basement ,room smelled of urine and the window had no sealant the wind howled through , we asked to be moved and also for a sea view, the girlon reception said there wasnt any, she was grumpy and un helpful. We were then given room 119.with a view of the carpark. This was very old and a cold room , the duvets are thin and could do with replacing , we stayed for 3 nights and made the most of it, we noticed sea view rooms empty near our room, but didnt feel we could ask the reception again after the frosty feeling we got from the girl on there . We ate in the hotel for tea with the dog we could only go on the tiled area 4 or 5 tables it was very cold in this area as it was near the main automatic door out of the hotel. Swimming pool was warm , sauna hot tub and steam room were hot , towels exchanged for fresh when you leave. We will stay here again as its a good location , but hopefully with a sea view room.
