"After waiting two weeks for a response to the problems we had I feel I now have to write this review. Having arrived at the hotel the check in was fine although the person checking us in seemed a little frazzled but he was quite clearly understaffed so I can ignore that. We had a family room and it left a lot to be desired. Peeling wallpaper water marks mild in the bathroom and doors falling off. As it was only for one night we let that go although on reflection we probably should have said something. The problems really started at around 11pm when the couple upstairs got to their room so began the screaming the shouting the moving and throwing of furniture. Now I know the hotel can’t know this is going to happen but it went on for nearly 5hrs. We attempted to contact reception nobody there then we realised we needed to ring the out of hours no which we did repeatedly and nobody answered. They eventually shut up and we all went to sleep only to be woken again around 6. So after a night of very little sleep we went down for breakfast. We spoke to the person on duty who went and did some investigating and he came back and told us that the out of hours phone had been switched off all night and that’s why we couldn’t get through. He then proceeded to say that once a guest had checked into their room they can and I quote pretty much do what they liked. He also said that as the phone had been switched off he would have to escalate the complaint and we should receive a response within 48 hrs and if we didn’t to ring the hotel he did however as a gesture of good will refund the breakfast. We didn’t receive a response we rung the hotel who then told us it could take up to two weeks. We waited two weeks we had no response we rung the hotel again to be told sorry nothings been done yet. It’s unfortunate because the hotels in a great position with lovely sea views and it could be spectacular but we just feel like we wasted our money and it wasn’t the lovely start to our holiday we’d anticipated. Should we ever receive an outcome to our complaint I will update this review."

"This beautiful Victorian hotel is right on the seafront a few minutes from the pier and the beach. Your very close by to all the things you could want, plenty of bars restaurants and attractions. I was there for only a night as we were going to see Some Guys have all the luck The Rod Stewart story) but would have been happy to stay the week. The staff are very professional and very helpful The food was great with a menu that had a good choice of dishes maybe could do with a couple more vegetarian dishes but otherwise great. You can sit outside even if it's raining as its covered and even has heating. It is a bit difficult if you are with restricted mobility and whilst there is a lift you still have to tackle stairs . The room we had was lovely very spacious clean and airy with a lovely view, one drawback in the room for a room with 3 people sharing there was only a tiny single wardrobe which didn't matter for us 3 staying for 1 night but any longer that wardrobe would only do for one but there was plenty of drawer space having a few chest of drawers. All In all we enjoyed our stay apart from the noisy guests that prevented us from getting any sleep which the night porter should have stepped up and calmed it down a bit, otherwise we had a lovely stay and after a lovely breakfast had plenty of time to vacate our room. Thank you to the staff who were very professional friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The only drawback was we didnt get any sleep as being on the seafront there were rowdy people shouting and making noise passing by and on this occasion there was a rowdy crowd in the hotel which went on till 5am, which when we complained the next morning were told the night porter should have put a stop to it because they were running up and down the stairs being very loud and laughing generally having a good time which is why your there but they should have respect for other guests as the hotel was fully booked."

"Where to start . . . Clues were there tucked away in the bizzare spelling mistakes on the menu but I persevered going for a prawn cocktail starter and the grilled salmon as a main, as those listings were free of the spelling mistakes which put me off the Balognesec Pasta Homemad Cilli. The prawn cocktail starter was ridiculously awful. Four leaves of wilted lettuce with a blob of some sort of redish sauce contained eight tiny cardboard like stale pieces of inedible material. They may well had been potential prawns at some point but these quarter inch offerings were no doubt the cheapest available to the pub but sadly unlike any food offerings I 've previously encountered. I felt awkward having to complain but the delightful girl behind the bar apologised profusely, informing me that they had a new chef and asked if I 'd like an alternative starter. I went for the breaded mushrooms, she promised a few extra to compensate for my dismay. Fair enough. She returned with seven mushrooms and a little paper pot with some not very garlicy maionaise contained. This was at least edible. Then came a plate with a two inch long serving of a leather based piece of something that may have been fish based at some point but had been dried out and shrunk by over enthusiastic grilling, ten dried and wrinkly new potatoes and a spoonful of dried out peas. No sign of the drizzle of garlic butter or the broccoli. For the first time in my life I sent the food back. It was an embarrassment for both myself and the innocent girl behind the bar. So come for a drink but consider your options if you need to eat as the local area is brimming with places that offer better, or at least edible food."

"We popped in for a light lunch on a Friday just before 1pm. 2 out of 3 of the party were after a soft drink, which were both advertised on the board behind the till. Unfortunately, these were both out of stock. One of us ordered a cup of tea and we were shocked to note the price, which was the same as a cup of coffee. No extra hot water was provided until asked and so a very small pot of tea is provided for the price to begin with. During our visit, the tea cup was accidently knocked, resulting in a spillage. The gentleman helped us to it clear up, however we were not offered a new tea cup or saucer and so had to use a saucer full of tea, until the lady noted and gave us paper towels to soak up the split tea on the saucer. We all wanted to order a panini for lunch, but were told these were all sold out by 1pm (on a busy Friday lunchtime). We all opted for toasted sandwiches instead, however we had to wait around 20-25 minutes for 3x toasted sandwiches and unfortunately they were very basic. The bread was just about toasted, the tomato chucks were far to big for the small sandwich, which meant some bread was soggy and the onion slices were huge and unedable as a result. The tuna was also not mixed with any mayo, so with cheese, it was rather dry. The side salad was very basic with no salad dressing and they all came out looking different on the 3x plates. For the price of £9 each, they didn't even come with crisps. We understand the price of everything has increased dramatically and wouldn't mind paying £9, if what was provided was of good quality and on par with what is served elsewhere. At the end of our lunch, we were not asked if everything was OK and I wonder if that was because the waiting staff knew it wasn't?"
