One night out of necessity
Just a glorified guest house. Most of the hotel had been shut down for the winter season but because of the liverpool v newcastle game, they reopened ...rooms smelt fusty and damp and were freezing cold. Had to ask staff for help getting it warm...still wasnt warm the next morning. Very poor selection of hot food and without transport nothing else really nearby to try.

Sadly quite disappointing and tired
First time stay and was slightly disappointed to be honest. The staff were friendly but it felt like dining was in the reception area and the menu was a little sad. I decided to get a takeaway from Ocean Road which was lovely. The room was tired and cold, no bottle of water, no hairdryer. Breakfast was also disappointing and the coffee was literally undrinkable. The location is good and this hotel could be lovely but it’s dated and I’m sorry to say I won’t be staying again.

A hotel or disco….
In many ways our stay was fine. The location is good with sweeping harbour and sea views. Staff were helpful, the room was clean, though slightly tired given the age of the hotel (I remember it being built years ago). On this basis we would go back. However we would not go back because of the noisy functions and where they are held. Our room was upstairs on a bedroom wing. On the Friday night we discovered - heard - a disco starting up around 18:30 right at the end of the bedrooms corridor! It was loud, noisy, lots of people shouting up and down the corridor, coming and going. The hotel will say they warn people it might be a bit noisy. From their email I guessed this would be in the lobby and restaurant. Not a problem. They don’t tell you it’s where the bedrooms are. We asked about this and the party a few doors down from us was supposed to end about 23:30. After 2 hours of loud music and noise, by 21:00 we had had enough and just left the place - checked out and drove home instead. To the hotel: be honest about the noise, don’t offer to change rooms when we are leaving, rather than when raising it earlier. We will jot be back. If you want to be at a disco this is the place, otherwise avoid it, especially at a weekend

It was okay
Pros:
The hotel itself is in a brilliant location with fantastic views.
The staff really make this place, they are very friendly and helpful.
The room we stayed in was very big, so we had lots of room to move around
Cons:
Beds were really uncomfortable
Breakfast was absolutely chaos, the poor staff were absolutely run off their feet trying to get everything sorted. I think it had to do with that breakfast ended at 9:15 so there was a giant rush from everyone and I think there had been a wedding or party the night before so it was so busy and hard for the staff to keep up as there seemed so few of them for so many numbers. We ended up going elsewhere to get another breakfast.
The rooms seem a bit tired although they were very clean, it just felt a bit sad and little details like the TV being in a weird place on the wall when you sit in bed.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and his place could be absolutely fantastic with just a few changes.

Not bad but could be better!
Reasonable hotel, the evening meal food was excellent & sensibly priced but the breakfast needs addressing. The bar area seating was fully reserved for the locals for the entertained, which when you're paying near to £100.00 a night to stay is not acceptable. The rooms are reasonably spacious, but need to be updated to bring the furnishings & decor into the 1970s.

Our regular hotel when visiting family, it feels like a family. The views are stunning, not a “plush” hotel, but comfortable, friendly and we would recommend it.

quirky hotel with lovely views ( ours was over the Tyne we watched the DFDS ferry come in. Large windows. Large room ( junior suite 201) The room was a little dated but we didn't mind because it was clean and had a bath- a great addition for after cold water swimming. Electric heater- simple and efficient.
