    We thought we would push the boat out and both opted for a signature fillet steak in Mr Whites Chop House which is not a cheap option, sadly as we had asked for medium rare both were overdone and not cut well In both cases the sauce was almost non existent. The quality of the greens and chips however were excellent.

    Easy book in, pleasant staff, newly refurbished room with quality furnishings. Well fitted bathroom. Great view over the harbour. Good quality breakfast with plenty of choice apart from the conveyer toaster which was set up too fast and too hot and only singed to outside of the bread without actually toasting the bread through (a small niggle).

    Local town is very degraded not many shops open on a week day, quite vacant not somewhere I’d walk through with children but beach front was quite and clean There was dust on windowsill and some work being done due to upgrading rooms so expect noise from about 8/8:30 am

    Close to the beach, modern interior and great facilities available clean outside On site restaurants and local restaurants were a little pricy but food was delicious and cocktails and drinks were lovely … prices similar to London

    The parking was an issue. We were told that all the hotel car park spaces were already booked. We parked in paid parking in front of the hotel. The parking from 6 pm to 8 am is free but then £20 per day.

    We spend only one night there. The room was clean and comfortable for a family of 4. Good location. You can see all the ferries coming and going. We also had good weather and could see the coast of France.

    The floor in our bedroom was so uneven that I nearly felt seasick. A pane in the window was nearly falling out. Good it was not raining or windy. The lift is very slow, small and loud.

    Nice location, helpful staff. The hotel has an old nice feeling to it and the breakfast was very good!

    The parking wasn’t great. It’s not very well signposted. When in the hotel we where told they only had 59 spaces there and they where all booked but the car park was empty. We were then told to pay for parking. For 11 hours it’s was £20.40 and for 24 hours was also £20.40. I paid for 3 hours and then asked at reception again and there was 1 space available. The gentleman registered my car. If you do plan to stay here make sure you have a spare 20 for parking you may need it.

    Location was good, on the seafront. You can see all the ferries coming and going.

    Room was clean but looks like a bathroom was not fully checked and needed service staff intervention. The issue was resolved quickly but did lead to uncertainty whether we get to keep the room or be moved. No free drink or complement was offered while we waited.

    Great location with sea views and a small balcony with friendly sea gulls. Would recommend it.

    Be aware that balconies are above the bar. Busy place on a Friday night. Noise until midnight. Parking was a little bit of an issue but it got sorted. It is subject to availability and that was not stated in description

    Location was fantastic. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice balcony.

    Too many items in the room having to squeeze past to move around. Suggest replacing the desk chair with one that fits under the desk and the small table and easy chair are not required. Removing the items will make the room more spacious. Thanks Mark

    Nothing could’ve been done better for what we needed. There was a loud & drunken wedding party taking up all the bar when we were checking in, it wasn’t the best first experience after a long tedious drive when patience had already been tested, this is obviously not the hotel’s fault. We’re all for celebrating but it would’ve been better if they were somewhere else not spilling over into the reception area!

    The hotel staff were great, always greeted us with a smile and they couldn’t do enough for us or our children.

    Thought it would be easy for use of the port ferry but it’s not, as the police can close the road that connects you to the port. This is not a fault of the hotel, but just for those staying for this proximity purpose, watch out.

    Elevator is slow but really, it is an old building and that I'd just nitpicking.

    Megan at the front desk deserves recognition! She was so pleasant, helpful & professional & went out of her way to make me feel welcome & give me information about the area. I had a pet seagull (Gulliver) who visited my window each evening & listened to all my ramblings, he was lovely. The bar staff werev also amazing. The area was quiet with a great view and a short walk to busses, restaurants and the ferry. Extended my stay 3 times.
