Lovely stay on the waterfront - parking can be a little tricky to spot the entrance, but once located easy to access.
Nice breakfast and great location.
As many people said previously no free parking on site unless you stay in suite
i had a great single room overlooking the sea which is unusual for a single
quality of food was excellent & all staff were very accommodating & on leaving the person on reception carried my bags to the car
a glass of wine was the most money i've paid ever
i would come back
Pretty big rooms, good food, friendly staff. You need to be at breakfast as early as possible though, the baked goods are out quickly sometimes.
Still really good overall
Bit of a blip at check in (which wasn’t the hotels fault tbh) but James was quick to rectify the situation and all the staff were excellent (well done James,Sion,Baz and Charlotte for your very attentive treatment
We will definitely be returning
The hotel was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly our dog alArchies was spoilt and well looked after with water and biscuits .we walked along tte beach which Archie loved we had a meal at the dovey inn
The check in was quick and easy, the room was superb and plenty big enough with a writing desk, coffee table and chairs and a superb bathroom complete with a bath.
I dined in the evening, the food was first class, as was the service. Breakfast was also excellent. One minor criticism is that an omelette was the same price as a full English. I had that as I wasn't hungry enough for a full fry up but didn't want continental.
Parking outside is also problematic. There is some short term parking very close but the main car park is a few minutes walk away and 'pay and display' so the cost of that needs to be factored in to the overall cost of a night stay.
Overall I would recommend it and be happy to stay there again.
Staff extremely helpful, room clean, comfortable and well appointed.
I suspect parking would be an issue in summer as relies on public car park but worked for us in February!
Only stayed one night but would happily stay for a week. The property is old but well maintained, rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff were great, the food delicious and the view lovely.
