En suite far too small, sitting on toilet with legs up against wash basin, couldnt bend down when brushing teeth bathroom door right behind you, shower cubicle to small couldnt bend down to wash feet. Breakfast served wasnt that warm, only white bread for toast. We payed for two nights but left after first night.

Stay was excellent. Great service, great food, great staff - very friendly. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment - a working progress. The room was cosy and the bed very comfortable, a little tired in the ensuite, sea view more than made up for this - what’s not to like. Excellent value for money. Will return. 😊

Loved my break here with my partner and wee dog. Had to cut it short though due to circumstances. Our room which appeared to have been recently refurbished was lovely and immaculate. Loved the wee shower room which was so fresh. The staff were extremely helpful and extremely nice especially Lynsey. Only gripe here is that there was no matress protector on the bed but I'm sure they will put that right ASAP. Will definitely be going back. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Best value for money hotel i have ever stayed in. Thanks everyone. Joan

Do not stay here
Checking in. Reception area and foyer were a mess, boxes everywhere, untidy. Not a welcoming site. Room. Not been serviced correctly after the last occupants. No toilet roll or tea! Furniture in the room is old and needs replacing, it felt very tired. En-suite bathroom - a more fitting description would be a cupboard with additions. It measured 2m by 80cm, cosy is not the word to describe it. It does say small on the hotels website, but this is tiny! Carpet on the stairs would appear to be new, and it looks like some decoration of the walls is taking place, i hope they have not paid to have this done as it is appalling. . At our first breakfast we were asked if we needed new towels,which we did not. However we left the 'please service room' sign on the door to get clean cups, teabags,milk and have the bed made up. It was not done. At breakfast the following morning we asked for the room to be serviced, towels and the works. Left the sign on the door again, when we got back from a long day out it had not been done. We went to reception and had to ask for towels, cups, tea and milk. The apology was a throw away 'sorry about that' and the staff sitting the bar did not seem to care less. The pictures of the hotel on its own website and on hotels.com do not represent the hotel as it is now. They appear to be from 2018, when i would suggest the ownership was different to what it is now. It needs updating. Breakfast OK, but ask for bacon to be grilled.

Do not stay for a quiet break
Door did not close unless locked as it had been smashed in along with the front door to the building, didn't feel safe. Very drunken guest in and out of their bathroom (with loud friends trying to keep them safe) outside our door, crying shouting being sick etc, this was throughout the night. No way of calling reception in room so couldn't notify anyone. Room run down, window didn't open etc. Breakfast and staff were good though
