Fantastic location. Lovely staff on the whole. Outside grassy area had a lot of cigarette butts which was unpleasant. Also outside seating on grass a few more options would be good. Most of the seats were really low. Will definitely be back.

We had a two-night stay. I thought the half-board option was very good value, and the food was well cooked and presented. But the stand out feature was how well the staff have been trained. They really made the trip - polite and engaged and followed up on everything really quickly. I was very impressed with them.

Great place for a short break, hotel faces quiet shingle beach and has lovely patio with windbreak. Very clean throughout hotel, good service, good food too. Bar area rather cold and impersonal. Room well equipped, although few sockets for IT needs and not conveniently positioned. Also, whilst there was a great hairdryer provided, there was only one place where you could plug it close to a mirror - and the flex was only just long enough. Made hair drying a challenge.
