Arrived late and no one was there to let me in, despite me calling. Hotel did say it was 11pm final check in so I suppose they did warn me. But I had to sleep on the beach until the hotel phoned me back at 3am.

It was extremely clean ,room well equipped, but avoid dining there. The meal was inedible and overpriced. It felt like Fawlty Towers!

Plain but comfortable room. Bar and restaurant areas exceptoinally and clean and well organised and a credit to the staff; who were welcoming, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. Food was beyond expectation; this is great place to eat; and takeaways seem to be very popular.

The property is very old and has lots of character. Seemed generally to be clean, but tired in places.
We had no TV in the room, just an empty bracket on the wall and aerial cable/ other electrical wires hanging loose across and around the bathroom door. Kettle provided but only decaf coffee on the tray, no milk, no tea available. Only 2 small bath towels and 1 hand towel left for 3 adult occupants. Fire alarm went off early in the morning, but as the property has no reception staff, there was no one to check guests were all evacuated. The alarm just stopped after a few minutes so I assume it was a false alarm? Predominantly Indian meals offered which were ok, but as my husband is not keen on spicy foods he asked to see a more main stream menu. He was offered fish and chips as the only option available, which was served very over cooked and with a strong taste of old, dirty oil. We booked for 2 nights, but after a disappointing first impression, we checked out after one night and cut our holiday short. Overall disappointing!

The bed was infested with fleas. We raised this with the manager, he accused us of bringing them in despite only being in the room for 30 seconds and bringing no luggage in with us. After saying it wasn't us, he came up to investigate. We had caught a flea in a glass and he dismissed us saying it was a jumping bug and then proceeded to flick it on the floor. (I have a video of the flea but the hotel makes you sign saying no images to be shared on social media without the hotel's permission at check-in). My boyfriend and I spent as little time possible and wished we just slept in the car (we were practically eaten alive by the fleas). My boyfriend also found thick black hairs in the bed, which neither of us have. Bathroom was thick with mold and the shower drain was clogged. We set out very early the next day and weren't the only ones with this plan as there was another room key left on the floor by the exit. Breakfast may have been included but we certainly weren't sticking round to find out after learning the place has failed its food hygiene rating and was previously closed due to rat infestations yet still continues to serve food. Wouldn't put my worst enemy here. Do not waste your money. Before booking, Google this hotel as has made headline news before at how vile it is.

Value for money !
Ok the hotel shows its age in places, but our room was very clean, the bathroom had recently been refitted and was excellent
The manager "Sam" could not of been more helpful and friendly
Highly recommend the Indian restaurant, which is partnof the hotel, probably the best curry I've every had !

Old and very dated hotel room. Bathroom tiles were cracked, no house keeping during our 2 night stay. Place is in desperate need of a deep clean and major renovation.

We arrived at our hotel just after 5, checked in with the hotel manager and was shown to our room. The downstairs of the hotel looked quite nice but as soon as we started climbing the stairs the decor was old and shabby looking. As we entered our room the first thing that hit me was a terrible sewage smell from the bathroom. I looked in toilet to find black sludge, I tried flushing the toilet but that made it worse. I went back downstairs to see the manager and he sent a staff member up with some cleaning products. My daughter suffers with asthma and the smell just triggered it off. We decided to cut our losses and book elsewhere. The hotel manager did try to offer us another room and was apologetic and gave my daughter 2 bottles of J20.

We booked for 3 nights left after 1 night. The property was filthy, carpets tatty and dirty all wood work bannisters etc filthy grime hand stains never been cleaned in years. The shower room equally filthy door had heavy staining all over it shower was mouldy. We were given a photocopy of the hotel’s so called facilities stating you could get breakfast in the dining room, when asking for a coffee we were told no restaurant is not serving breakfast but you can have room service which you will pay a surcharge for! We ordered some wine and were told you can only have drinks if you pay cash to the point were we had to go to the post office to get cash the next morning as they were so rude to us. The patio area outside was in a terrible state there were planks missing and loose and rubbish piled up under the fire escape very dangerous

This Inn is in terrible condition. The decor is beyond tired and in some cases, unfinished.
The management are Indian and the receptionist spoke little English. The carpets are old and dirty. There were loose cables on the towel rail and TV. We were advised not to eat here.

Had a great stay here . All my needs were catered for . Room was clean and well laid out . Dinner was tasty. The room was quiet at night and I slept very well. All topped up with a full English breakfast before heading on my way

Generally un helpful, understaffed one guy was quite rude, no VAT receipts, place was empty and felt unfinished.
my staff was well over priced for the place, no breakfast available £40 would be about right !!
