I booked a room with a premium sea view to be allocated a view of a car park for 180.00
Objected and Debbie did her best to re allocate a room with a sea view saying that all premium rooms were booked and cost 195.00. This price was not on the website when I booked.
Debbie was great and hugely apologetic that we had been misled. Our new room was clearly only for one person due to one pillow and towel etc. Where Debbie was great and thank you to her, she personally attended to extra pillows, towels etc. We are hoping we dont have to pay 180.00 for a sub standard room without bedside

Wonderful location, right opposite the beach. Extremely friendly staff, in the reception, bar and restaurant, which serves very good food. A listed building with a traditional exterior but dont be put off, the interior has been tastefully modernised. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
