Great location right on seafront. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Food was ok ,Great service from George and Charlie in particular. A bit disappointing that we only got two nights entertainment. Also,our room was extremely small with not much storage. The bathroom was tight too . No good for a large person. Would we stay here again? Yes 😀 xx

Good hotel, helpful staff, large carpark. Entertainment very good. Food- breakfast good . Evening meal lacked choice within bb&em deal. Better choice was available as a supplementary payment which seemed rather high when added to any amount already included.
