Seaside serenity

fine viewshelpful staffgorgeous bar

The location offered fine sea views, just across from the Eric Morecambe statue. Staff members were consistently helpful. They worked very long hours. The bar proved gorgeous, sometimes with live music. It was very popular with the locals.

The car parking had a charge for my two-night stay and i felt a little disappointed by that unexpected fee.

The breakfast had a huge selection. The morning staff provided excellent service. My room was clean and modern. I also found the location great, close to everything.

The room lacked basic toiletries. I did not find soaps or shower gels. The view from my room was not good, it felt abysmal with lots of noise! The bed frame seemed too small and the lights were right above the head.
