Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often highlight the spacious rooms, some of which feature a sofa, alongside comfortable beds and effective air conditioning. The hotel's location proves popular, with only a short 5-minute walk to the beach, as well as walking distance to a park and restaurants. Some have noted that the parking charges at £15 per night can be a downside. Nevertheless, breakfast is generally considered acceptable.

cooked breakfast steam room attentive staff leaking air conditioner soaked carpet late check-out
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was very well cooked. The pool and steam room were a pleasure, and I really enjoyed the facilities. The staff were very attentive and cute, both at the front desk and in the breakfast room.
The air conditioner leaked badly all night. It soaked the carpet, and it made loud dripping sounds that kept me awake. I reported it to reception in the morning. They offered a late check-out, but no one ever came.

A Charming Getaway

perfect location woodland walks easy access
I found the hotel's location perfect for woodland walks and access to the beach! It was only a short walk to town. I appreciated the lift access, made getting around with luggage easy. I would return for another stay.
The walls seemed a bit thin, and I could sometimes hear noise from the stairs, a minor issue though.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast service included tasty sausages, bacon, and mushrooms, all prepared with care. A coffee machine was available. It offered some variety. Guests walking through the dining room in swimwear was a bit odd when I had dinner.

The room was a good size for a night away, with air conditioning. The standard double room had comfortable bedding. A TV was installed, and the Wi-Fi worked well. It allowed for good relaxation.
