    Generally good but not ideal for people with mobility issues.

    Booking in was ridiculous. The parking situation is useless for those with mobility issues. The room was cold. The bathroom was rather small and the step is not good for those with mobility issues, especially in the middle of the night. The steps up to the dining room were a problem as i have mobility issues.

    The room was huge. The staff were great. The location was perfect.

    Was very cold in our room, we struggled to warm up and ended up sleeping in our jumpers, so that wasn’t great. The other issue was the shower, it had very poor water pressure and at its hottest was only really tepid. They could probably do with more/bigger lifts too but that’s a big job so maybe staggering check out times would help with the loft issues in the mornings.

    Staff were all friendly, polite and very helpful (that’s a rarity these days), Beds were comfortable and it was lovely and dark at night so we both slept really well once we got to sleep.

    The bed ideally needed a new matress as very hard and lumpy. Rooms could do with a airfreshner as they did smell a little musky but we bought our own.

    The hotels location is central to all amenities. Breakfast at the hotel was outstanding value for money and the waitress staff were incredible and could not do enough for us. Bedding and towels were all good quality and clean.

    This was the first time staying in a superior room. It was beautiful but I preferred the older rooms (just a preference). We had forward facing so was quite noisy, but we understand it’s on a busy road and it’s the price you pay for beautiful view. Also, our tv was quite temperamental (when we did use it).

    This was our third visit and it holds so many memories for us close to our heart! The location is absolutely ideal and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

    Noise caused by distressed woman in room on same floor in the early hours of the night was very unsettling. Rooms need to be decorated and updated.

    Location for beach/harbour and town centre very good.

    Building is very tired and in much need of decoration. Corridors are quite dark. A 2pm arrival time would seem more reasonable for a Hotel.

    Location is very good.

    I asked for reasonable access to room as I have a disability with mobility issues, but was put on 4th floor and halfway down the corridor! Parking was not very convenient as a distance from hotel with our luggage and we wernt sure how to park on first night so didn't get the hotel discount. And then had issues with the card they gave us. Overall a bit inconvenient but not the end of the world.

    Convenient location, food was good, staff helpful and friendly, plenty of places nearby to visit. We enjoyed our stay.

    No parking The receptionist told us hotel information could be found in the welcome booklet in the room. The book stated that breakfast was on until 9.30. Once at the restaurant at 9.15, there was a small paper sign that had been put up saying breakfast is until 9 am. The restaurant staff member did not seem to care about their mis-advertisement and was not helpful. Might be worth changing the end time in the printed and formal book that every room will see
