Clean/comfortable room. Hotel in good/central location - hence you may be disturbed by early (3-4am) bin collections. Managed to get parking on site. Pool/jacuzzi is a nice treat. Breakfast is expensive for children, so went to local cafe instead.

The room was fine but the place seemed over-staffed. This hotel has a bit of an identity crisi as it doesn't seem to know if it is a pub with rooms or a hotel with a bar. In addition they do not accept cash, which is very strange becsuse I wanted to pay cash for everything.

Initial lady who checked me in was not fantastic definitely couldn't read the room. Culture I did not want to discuss my stay any further with her. Everything was a bit old and could use a lick of paint and a little bit of upkeep. There were builders in at the time so there was also noise plastic sheets on the floor parking isn't great anyway but was taken up by half the builders

Our stay was lovely. We were given the wrong room, as we had booked a triple but got a double instead, but the room was so nice it wasn’t an issue. The hallways to the rooms were quite run down and could do with some love, however the room itself was gorgeous, with a sea view, comfy bed and spacious bathroom. There is limited parking available too

We had a family room up on the top floor. It was so cosy and quirky and huge. The whole hotel had a beautiful ambience it felt so Christmassy with all the lights and the trees all very tastefully done. The staff was super friendly. We cannot wait to come back
