If you're looking for luxury, this isnt it. It needs a lot of love and attention to its interior and exterior and is very dated with its appearance, furniture and decorations. However, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful and made us feel so at home. Fab location to beach and pubs with free limited parking on site for hotel guests. Breakfast was fantastic- a great selection of hot and cold food that was cooked to a good standard.Rooms were spotlessly clean, but odd parts do need a bit of TLC eg small cracks on walls and scratches on wooden furniture showing use and age. Great facilities in the room, as well as use of a heated indoor pool.

The room was a little dated but clean and functional, there were a few facilities unavailable however we were given the option to use 'The Grands' facilities (the sister hotel) at no extra cost which we did 🙏The staff were great and they welcomed our two dogs who we took with us, it's in a great location and bang for buck scores 4.5 stars.We would happily stay here again and recommend to our friends⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very enjoyable stay in an Executive Room with Seaview. Staff very helpful and friendly and well worth paying the extra £10 for two to have a very good breakfast. We'll positioned for a visit to the nearby Princess Theatre. Parking has to be reserved and worth £10. The Hotel could do with refurbishment in some areas.

Amazing.The location is perfect. Right by the sea front. 3 minute walk to lovely pubs and brill fish and chips.Mr linnen and the Scottish lady of the reception ( didn't get her name) were lovely and couldn't do enough for you.Our room was one of the new ones, beautiful, clean and more than enough towels left for us.We visited the inside and outside pool in the sun, had breakfast in the morning which was a lovely buffet. It wasn't busy or overcrowded. Just a nice steady flow of people.No lift but that didn't bother us.Will return again 😁😁

Great location, just stones throw away from the coastline, staff were so friendly and helpful, specially the ladies in the dinning hall were excellent. Indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi were great, we used then once a day and was very quite this september. Rooms are a little dated but very spacious and my little boy loved running around everywhere. Definitely would recommend staying at Abbey Sands.
