efficient staff coast line view spacious suite expensive car park unheated pool out of action jacuzzi
the staff were very efficient. food was very good. i thought the suite was very spacious. it had a lovely view of the coast line.
the car park was over priced. it is cheaper to park right outside by the road. the outside pool was unheated. the jacuzzi and sauna were out of action. the changing rooms were disappointing.

small room outdated bathroom
the staff were polite enough and always happy to help. it was okay, i guess.
the room i had was nothing special. it was so small. the bathroom was pretty outdated too, i mean, seriously, the showerhead barely worked. it reminded me of stepping back into the '90s, and not in a good way.

Mixed feelings about the stay

lack of view peeling wallpaper
The location was good. It was right across from the beach.
Our balcony offered no view When seated because of a wall. I felt ripped off. The room was also dated with wallpaper peeling off.

Great Coastal Hotel

great location helpful staff breakfast choice
The location is perfect I was so close to the beach and town centre. The staff was very helpful all the time. I enjoyed having breakfast with amazing sea views. They provided a good choice of menu items.
The parking was a bit unclear when I arrived I eventually managed to figure it out. More signs would be very helpful though.

The pool area and gardens were lovely I really liked it. The area includes plenty of seats to relax in. The outdoor pool looked amazing and well-kept. I was eager to take a dip there.
