"need more staff"

"We stayed in chalet #2 Bramble. There was a bit of a wait at reception at check in. We were told we were in lodge #2. We were given three keys which was helpful. When we got to the lodge the number was not as clear as the name so it would have been helpful to have been told the name at checkin. When we opened the door we were presented with another 8, Yes 8 doors! The rooms themselves were basic but fine. 2 bathrooms one was a stand alone shower room the other had a shower over bath and was a Jack and Jill style with access from one room and the hallway. The two twin rooms were snug but fine for our needs. Upstairs there was a good sized lounge area and a kitchen diner. The kitchen had all the required equipment, and so many glasses you could host a cocktail party but only 2 tea spoons! Some of the cooking equipment wasn't clean e.g. knives in the knife block. Generally overall it was fine, there were just some bits that made it shabby e.g. green growth in the bathroom light, scrapes and scratches on the paintwork in most rooms. We made use of the pool which we enjoyed. I used the gym which was well appointed but you need to know what you are doing as there was very little help of offer. We did use the club house for an evening meal, this really let the hotel down. We ordered a chicken stirfry but were later told they had no noodles, these were swapped for chips but then served with sweet potato fries. The chilli was served but without the accompanying nachos or soured crème."

"Room was clean, plenty of off street parking as the hotel car park is always full. Only things I noticed was the water pressure was not great on cold taps, shower & toilet, often had to throw a bowl of water down the loo as flush was not enough. The water pressure in the ladies changing room in gym was much better than the shower in my room "

"The hotel is on the beach and a close walk to centre of town and very close to the marina. The room was clean and bright. Staff are very helpful, welcoming and professional. "

"Caravan was slightly smaller but well equipped and laid out, lovely walks from the site to the coast. Swimming pool, restaurant and chippy all very nice to have on site as well."

"Shocking hotel in a very tired condition,the windows were moldy and cracked tiles loose floor boards and as for the bedding it was discusting with stained bed sheets and hairs on them which i dread to think where they came from. I ended up leaving early without breakfast as i really didnt want to eat there..unfortunately there was no staff to complain to in the morning."

"Property is a little tired I would describe it more as a licensed B @B than a hotel but for what I paid it was ok."

"Friendly staff really wanted us to have a good stay"

"Was very disappointed at being charged extra to park the car because we booked through Hotels.com. Only received a refund when we complained and pointed out that had I come and just bought a coffee I would have been eligible for free parking as I would have been considered to be a customer. But not considered to be a customer when staying overnight. "
