10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on the sea front. Lovely rooms and very comfy bed. The bedrooms and on suites appear to have all been recently renovated. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. The only slight drawback is the parking - there isn't any. So, we had to risk parking on a random street away from the hotel. Also, the air vent for the kitchen extraction is like an aircraft engine blasting away right at the front of the building where the outdoor seating is."

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel staff were lovely very welcoming and very helpful...a lady made sure she brought us fresh milk for the room and was really nice...thank you to her. Room was large with huge bathroom and big bath and excellent shower and spotlessly clean.. Beds were comfy as were pillows. 2 beds in the one room..a bed and a bed settee perfect for a family of 4...strangely only 2 cups for drinks. Hotel 10 mins from Corris craft centre which we were visiting. Had a lovely evening meal at the hotel..bit limited menu for kids but ok. Breakfast was included and this was the only area that let the hotel down...started at 8.30 and we were there at 8.35 ..only 2 people already there..to be told that they had only 1 sausage left....kind of a basic to have enough sausages for a full English brekkie..I get it maybe if we were last to go down and it had been busy but obvs they just hadnt got any in ready for brekkie...our grandson had it and obvs the staff were then having to tell every other guest as they ordered...heard a few people commenting how disappointing it was....very odd and have never come across this before. Overall apart from the breakfast experience the hotel was lovely."
