Check in took a long time. The website offers free room upgrades when available but we were told this wasn’t true. We then had to argue that this was what was advertised and we weren’t willing to pay the money to upgrade if it was advertised as free. This was embarrassing and we had to wait 20 minutes and show the wording on the booking for the receptionist to speak to his manager and confirm that we were right and give us the upgrade. The computers then crashed and we had to wait again for this. Completely not the receptionists fault but hotels fault. He couldn’t apologise enough for the inconvenience of the long wait but in the stress of the situation forgot to give us vouchers for drinks and explain about bar tabs etc. which were explained later. Website advertises multiple restaurants including an Italian, which is amazing but not actually affiliated with the hotel and the receptionist tried to convince us to use their restaurant instead. Weird. Italian was 10/10 and would definitely recommend. Bed in the room was very low. Anyone with nobility issues would not be able to get up and down off the bed. Room as spacious and furniture okay but signs of wear/damage on furniture and bedding. Carpet was lumpy and a trip hazard between the bathroom and the bedroom. Plastic cups rather than glasses which was again a bit unusual. Poetic license bar was nice, barmaid friendly and helpful and there was a good choice of drinks available. Comfy seats and a good view.

First room was bad, went to reception and was upgraded to a much bigger and better room with a sea view.

Lovely hotel next to the beach, very friendly staff happy to help. Good bed comfy, large TV excellent… only issue was the toilet in the bathroom was a bit noisy for a while after flushing, but not a real problem. Great stay will be back

Very disappointing for the following reasons. Room very small.water cold on shower, however fixed on reporting. Need to consider where you put guests when functions are running/ occurring. Noisy with doors slamming and guests involved in party running up and down corridor shouting. Doors need to have soft close. Think about replenishing the tea/ coffee even if the room not cleaned.

The room was a flight of stairs to the first room , a long a corridor down two flights of stairs which were narrow . Through a heave door only to find the steps down literally as you open the door and then three stairs up to the room . All very narrow and difficult to carry bags . I was asked if I needed help but the main stair case was fine if I had been made aware of how far the room was away I would have taken it . Staff very friendly

Limited options for vegetarians in the hotel restaurant. Very noisy if you did choose to eat there with a DJ playing loud music in the bar. Coffee in the room and at breakfast was dreadful, please change the brand. Room was nice, but not particularly clean, our view was of an air conditioning duct and the back of a building, bathroom was clean.

Overall a Very good stay 3 nights, Staff very good especially the breakfast staff nothing to much trouble, Room was ok we had a problem the first night but was resolved very quickly by Reception, room could do with small table and 2 chairs instead of large chair, View out back would be better if area was tidy. Bathroom large and spotless , better with light curtains and hand rail on wall of bath 78 getting old lol,, ate in 3 nights night 1 ok night 2 excellent night 3 Not good. In all a good stay we do travel around Hotels after 30yrs a Publican serving beer and food Did Not want Bedrooms lol Ian Ann MBII

The hotel had different options for dining and a large bar/restaurant area with a covered outside terrace with excellent staff that were most helpful at all times. I paid an additional amount for breakfast, however the filter coffee at breakfast was bitter and not very warm. When I asked for a coffee latte there was an additional charge which I think the hotel management should reconsider.

The mattress in my room was worn out and needed to be replaced. However generally I everything was fine.
