Very tired customer
On Friday they had a wedding which then led to kids running up and down the hallway screaming and shouting throughout the night, then Saturday night was arguments until after 3am which meant another sleepless night

Working away
Stayed here plenty of times in the past with work, room wasn't as nice as other which i can live with, still get the free drink which is a good touch. I was there for 2 nights and only noticed once i got back the 2nd night that my room wasn't serviced, can live with the bed not being made, but no tea and coffee replaced or loo roll.

Perfect small break
Amazing night . You could easily spend more than one night here . Very self contained . We didn’t even bother to eat in the restaurant the room was so large and comfortable. We opted for room service which again was to a high standard.

Bad checkin but niceish hotel
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.

Lovely beach hotel
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
