"Great"

"Our rooms had a lovely ( unexpected) sea view but as I found out on arrival, most if not all rooms, (other than accessibility/disability rooms) have a shower over the bath, so it wasn’t ideal for my 84yr old mother who doesn’t require an accessible room as she doesn’t have any disabilities or restrictions per se but can’t climb into the bath to take a shower. It is very unusual for a hotel these days to have baths in every room but the hotel was fully booked for a conference so unfortunately there was no option to change rooms to an accessible room for her. The restaurant was closed for a function the night we arrived, This was a Monday night in a small seaside town at the beginning of March so I wasn’t hopeful - but we found 3 great places to eat within a few mins walk. A really lovely seaside cafe/restaurant, an Indian and an American/Mexican type restaurant. The hotel was clean, staff were lovely and it was ideal for our stay. Don’t be put off by the 1970’s exterior. We didn’t go further than the seafront so not sure about a ‘town’ but there are retail parks nearby. "

"Lovely clean room with plenty of space. Staff warm and friendly. Breakfast was lovely "

"Clean, comfortable, and cosy."

"Our Host was excellent and went the extra mile looking after us, the accommodation was spotless and very modern and the location was perfect right next to the sea"

"Ideal town centre location. Friendly efficient service."

"Really disappointed with how we've been treated with this booking. I booked (and paid) for the property back in September 2024 because I'd entered an event which started nearby. 3 days before arriving Vrbo emailed confirming the booking and said to await details on how to access the property. The day before still nothing so I emailed the host, no reply. I then messaged on the day we were due to arrive, still no reply. I tried the number given for the host but it didn't work so had to obtain another number from Vrbo. I called that number and spoke to Ben who said he'd go and sort the problem out and would come back to me (he didn't).I then received a cancellation email via Vrbo with the reason given that the accommodation had been booked on another platform the day we were due to arrive! I tried to call Ben back on two occasions but he wouldn't take my call. Very unprofessional.This was stress we did not want to deal with ahead of a big event. We were put to more cost as there was little choice left at the same cost and we had to stay further away from the start of the event where we had to be for 6am! Logistically this caused all sorts of problem.I've had no apology from the hosts and I think it's totally unacceptable for them to hold our money for 10 months and cancel last minute because they can't manage their business and block out dates when the property is in use. Do we get compensation? They should be taken off Vrbo. As you can tell, we're not happy!"
