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.

Highly recommended for short or long stays
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

Room ok but hotel has skeleton staff
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.

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.

I don't understand why the previous reviews were so negative. I've stayed in various hotels all over the world and this one was perfectly fine. Room was clean, bed comfy, bathroom clean and power shower worked great. Manager didn't speak great English, but once we got chatting, he turned out to be a really nice guy.

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 !!

Do not stay here
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.
