Very nearly great
The good: This is a lovely looking hotel from when you walk through the doors. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bar attached was really good and the breakfast was enjoyable. Good looking furnishings in the room overall great look and feel.
The bad: The bed was a bit rickety and the mattress was the cheapest of cheap and lessened the overall quality.
It’s a cheap and cheerful hotel if they got some quality mattress’s it would be great

Overall stay was good, but the rooms heating wasn’t on when I arrived, admins are only radiators, and either on or off…. Gap under door which let the light through from the corridor all night, I ended up putting a pillar to cover the gap on the floor to try and stop most coming through. Service was amazing, as I forgot my toothbrush and they provided one free.

Our stay was lovely. The only beef I have is that you allow dogs in the bar. I have nothing against dogs but I don’t agree with them being in a bar or restaurant where you eat and drink, it is not hygieneic

Winter Break.
Stayed in the executive suite top floor ,view amazing .Few things needed in that room ,there is only one arm chair that had seen better days cushion was loosing all the feathers
The settee was so low to sit on you couldnt see the lovely view of the sea.More mirrors need too.Grab rail needed in spa bath ..Wardrobe door wouldnt close .Heating is on a timer so if you want to be in youre room through the day it was very cold .We had to wrap up in bed throws. Staff very friendly in breakfast bar. The Poetic licence bar was nice but yet again so cold to sit in .

A well positioned seaside hotel with a good vibe.
Our second stay here, good welcoming service. Had some lovely food in the tea room and enjoyed some small plates in the main bar. Hotel has a nice ambience in the public areas. Bit disappointed with the range of food now offered. Not as good as last year on daytime and evening menus but everything we ordered was tasty and well prepared. A few delays on cooked breakfast item availability on the second of our two days stay. A small inconvenience but still an inconvenience. I'd urge staff to ensure items are available throughout the breakfast service.

Very tired customer
On Friday they had a wedding which then led to kids running up and down the hallway screaming and shouting throughout the night, then Saturday night was arguments until after 3am which meant another sleepless night

Working away
Stayed here plenty of times in the past with work, room wasn't as nice as other which i can live with, still get the free drink which is a good touch. I was there for 2 nights and only noticed once i got back the 2nd night that my room wasn't serviced, can live with the bed not being made, but no tea and coffee replaced or loo roll.
