  : Beautiful location, lovely staff, very clean.
  : Unfortunatley pool was out of action due to refurbishment. This was not reflected in price at time of booking as work was expected to be completed by time of arrival. We were mailed beforehand about this, however we felt they could have reduced price to reflect same. They only offered us option to cancel. The hotel said pool was only ‘complimentary’, however they know this is a large reason people book here over other places and advertise heavily about swimming pool etc. Having stayed many times there we were happy to maintain the booking , however some sort of jesture or small token to reflect same would have been nice as it was not projected at time of booking.

  : Hotel is in a great location, almost on the beach. Although rear of hotel overlooks a disused old Pontins camp, but you can see mountains in the distance. Our room, 'mountain view', was spacious, nicely decorated and very clean, bathroom obviously recently refurbished, modern and, again, very clean. Everything you would expect, TV, kettle, tea, coffee, milk, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, etc. There's no nightlife or shops, amusements etc nearby. You can walk for miles along the prom. We went for dinner, it's quite expensive, wife wasn't impressed with the white wine by the glass, decent selection of beers, mostly lagers and IPAs. Restaurant nice place, clean, view of the sea, outside terrace when hot enough. Lovely staff, excellent service and very well cooked food. Unimaginative choice for veggies and vegans, only three items.Breakfast was in a different room, not as nice, no views, but clean, very busy but staff were great, quick service and the range of cereals, juices etc was great, the hot food - full Welsh for me, veggie for Mrs - was great, the bread for toast was lovely. No complaints.We used the pool twice. Changing rooms are being done up so no showers, but we showered in our room. Pool clean and warm only 1.2m all over, so no diving. Water warm enough.Free car parking.We stayed only one night, could have done with two, but unless you have a special interest I'm not sure you would stay longer.
  : There was a strange thing with water, sounded like a cistern filling up several times a day and night, the sound was audible in the bedroom but appeared to be coming from the bathroom. Perhaps it was from the room above but the noise travelling down a void? We asked two different staff for a late checkout and both said it would OK, but the cleaners knocked on at the normal check-out time, then reception phoned to tell us we were late checking out. When we spoke to them they seemed to accept the fault of not noting it was theirs but didn't apologise. So, if you ask for a late check out - triple check it.
