Myself and my partner had found a great deal on the hotel through Booking .com. I read past reviews by people and was apprehensive about coming to the Hotel. When we arrived the staff were freindly and pleasant. Our room was lovely even though it was facing the back of the hotel. The room was clean and modern and the... More

All show no go. If you're expecting at lease a few winks sleep then do not stay here. Our midnight telephone call to reception did result in the thumping disco music finally being switched off but the following clear up operation went on long afterwards. The staff admited they did forget to tell us there was an 18th birthday party... More

I came with an elderly relative, our room was upgraded, staff went out of their way to help and accommodate us. Everyone was really friendly. The rooms were clean, comfortable and decorated well. The food in the restaurant was amazing. Can't wait to return. More

My Girlfriend and I arrived at the hotel with no great expectations, however, we were both very surprised at the quality, comfort of our surroundings and the exceptional service from the young, enthusiastic and charismatic team. We grew extremely fond of our room with a twin balcony and fantastic sea view. although the lounge and bar are a hub of... More

My husband and I went for two nights and took my parents. We had a lovely break and the housekeeping staff were particularly kind to my parents. We would definitely go back there. More

Initially thought this would be a good hotel but it is a long way off being a boutique hotel as it claims to be. It has basically had just a cheap makeover to try and bring it up to date. It has a late night bar/function room in the basement which literally pumped out loud bass music until late into... More

Not the boutique description from the website and very overpriced. Rooms ok but bathroom was shabby, musty and in need of a revamp to call themselves a boutique hotel. We stayed in the best room with private balcony which did have a good seaview but even that couldnt justify the price! Breakfast was terrible and had to send it back... More

This is a perfectly placed hotel right on the beach. But that also means it can be noisy (single glazing + road and people drinking outside). Presume you can ask for a quiet room, but then you'd have no view. The high point is the staff who were lovely (and a really good breakfast). Would stay again, though the rooms... More
