Seacote Hotel in Copeland

We booked to have a meal based on family recommendation of the excellent food. We arrived to find the live music was so loud even in the dining room that you could not hear a conversation shouted in your ear from 3 inches away. We left disappointed without a meal as we could not enjoy a meal due to the volume. I felt so sorry for the poor staff trying to do their job, having to shout at customers over the volume. While the band were good- it would be advisable to have a door between the live music and restaurant so people can enjoy a conversation with their meal.

Was a little shocked that dogs were allowed in the dinning room for the evening food sitting . It says dog friendly but it’s not really hygienic and perhaps there should be just one area for dogs to eat . Food was ok , good portions. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful which makes up for many shortcomings. It all could do with a spruce up, from paint peeling off walls , grubby carpets, dirty skirting boards , maybe too many dogs. Location by the beach good Our room was small , bed very clean and comfortable , but a bit tatty in general. Carpet a little grubby. The bathroom small, nowhere to hang a towel. Not sure we would stay again

I was planning a special weekend away, the hotel was very good at one point came to my rescue. Check in was very good, room was as I hoped, due to the planning +an extra on there side. Well done. The next day we went out early to do the Whitehaven parkrun and placed the service room notice on the door. When we got back nothing was done, we asked at reception but told new guest came first, which we thought was ok. Got back early evening and room still not done. On enquiring the staff had gone home, so we had to collect clean towels and new refreshments and take them to the room, not what I wanted. Saturday night/Sunday morning the fire alarm went off, we went outside and a member of staff ( male ) was very rude to me and my friend. The alarm was turned off after about 5 mins. No explanation. We didn't book breakfast for Sunday but they ket use have one, it was very nice.

really nice home cooking and home made chips , a simple restaurant on the side of a caravan site , friendly , helpful staff and great food.

We booked one night at the Seacote Hotel after a trip on the Ratty Railway to save us driving home on the same day and it was just what we needed at a very reasonable price for bed and breakfast. (One person's review on here recently seems to show that they have too high expectations and are very picky) The hotel is in a fantastic position overlooking the bay with the Isle of Man in the distance, the beach is two minutes walk and St Bees Head is just a few minutes walk. You also may get lovely sunsets. The hotel is friendly, homely and clean. Our double room was small but comfortable and clean. The bathroom was also clean and the shower was excellent. We had a beautiful sea view. (Some may not appreciate a rail with only four or five hangers instead of a wardrobe - can only speak for that one room) The parking is in a designated part of the large public car park but is right next to the hotel and you are given a pass for the length of your stay. The staff (especially those on reception) are very friendly and helpful. Some of the young waiters and waitresses could have been a little bit more attentive ( At the evening meal I had to go and get my own condiments as the waiters weren't on the lookout or being proactive) The breakfast, in a separate dining area, was freshly prepared and waiter/waitress served. I had the full Cumbrian and it was lovely. The evening meals were served in a separate bar area off the pubic bar. There was an excellent choice of home cooked food. I had the pie of the week which was Steak and Stilton with chips and veg. A good portion and very tasty. It would have been enough on its own but for the sake of being able to review for the walking group which I belong to I also had the sticky toffee pudding which was good. Evening meals were a little pricey but then everything has increased in price and for home cooked food it was probably pretty good value. All in all excellent position and area for walking and access to Western Lake District, great value, clean and friendly. Would stay again and for longer

Myself & my husband attended a wedding here & had a lovely stay in one of the refurbished rooms. It was spotlessly clean with very comfortable bed. The real highlight for this hotel was all the fantastic staff who were really friendly & nothing was too much trouble for them especially the lovely lady who cleans the rooms. We will definitely be returning in the future.

We booked the seacote hotel for our stay in September, When we arrived there was very limited parking space at the hotel and no Disabled parking at all , You are parking in a council run parking area so the hotel has to provide you with a voucher to display in your car, The rooms can be quite difficult to get to as the lift only goes to first floor then it’s up steps and along corridors with no actual directions provided or displayed on the walls , The room was nice and had been updated but the tv was only about a 20 inch screen and hard to see from the bed , The bathroom had a walk in shower unfortunately the toilet did make quiet a lot of noise when refilling the cistern and also only left one toilet roll , The bathroom was let down by not having a bin and no sanitary bags for ladies to use and the ceiling fan was very dusty and dirty this could be a fire hazard as it is not getting enough air , The room was not cleaned on the second day we stayed but bed was made, We did not eat in the Resturant/Bar so cannot comment on food or drinks there , We did have a very nice breakfast both mornings that consisted of cereal tea/ coffee yogurt and juice followed by a freshly made cooked breakfast, The staff in the breakfast room where very friendly and always helpful , You also get a nice view of the sea and beach from the breakfast room, Unfortunately the rest of the hotel needs a lot of attention as there are a lot of damp patches in the corridor ceilings and some poorly fitted doors , if the parking and other areas as stated above where addressed this could be a nice hotel , but as of September 2023 I would not stay again .

Really great value for money great food the best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time the staff are all friendly and more the only issue is the feeling of slow decay it needs a big refurb which I’m sure it will get one day this was my first visit but certainly not my last

Plan was to have dinner and stay one night. Messaged directly after using Booking.com to ensure there was disabled parking and the room was accessible. Detailed that one guest had mobility issues and they used a rollator walking frame. The reply stated ‘We are pleased to let you know that the accommodation has confirmed they will be able to arrange this for you. There will be no extra charge for this request.’ We arrived to be told there was only disabled parking in the local car park. It’s not far of you are able bodied so got a few dirty looks for letting my passenger out at the door of the hotel (which has plenty space for disabled parking or a drop off) The welcome was not welcoming. Think the chap was too tired. Asked about getting some food and were told the restaurant was full. We were warned about this online so no big deal. Chip shop 10 mins away had a brilliant team. The hotel was not accessible with uneven floors and tight turns. The toilet and shower were no good to someone with mobility issues. The best bit was being told where to go for breakfast (included in room rate) yes you guessed it… it was up a flight of stairs! Breakfast was not an option!! Unless you can sit in a chairlift and drag/bump your wheels with you? So the only person we interacted with who was actually pleasant was the lady at check out. I felt sorry for her when she asked how our stay was and I just had to say… different…but…not in a good way :( If you are a bunch of young stag or hen and want a basic cheap place to stay go for it. Oh I missed a highlight sorry… the guy in the beer garden flashing his butt… so there was that!

Live singer on a Sunday eve the public bar was so friendly and full of dogs which the kids loved. People dancing and trying to get the kids up was a right good local eve.

We were not expecting much for the price as we stayed at Seacote hotel purely as a stop off to break up a long journey. However, we were very pleasantly surprised! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was basic but very clean and had everything we needed. I travel every week for work so I am used to budget hotels, I was expecting Seacote to be akin to these budget places purely because the price was so low, but I was wrong! Very happy with our stay, really enjoyed the beautiful sea view too!

Wow £17 for Sausage and mash, £4.40 a pint, sorry but this isn't acceptable for pub food, I'm not sure who is cooking now but it's gone downhill. We visit here regularly and usually visit every day, whilst in St Bees, few pints and a meal but after our last visit we'll be giving it a miss.

I stayed at the Seacote Hotel for 3 nights. It has a nice homely feel to it and is only a short walk from the beach which is great. I didn't use the restaurant during my stay here so I can't comment on that, but the bar is very nice. The room was the very clean and spacious and the shower was amazing (perfect and relaxing after a day swimming in the sea or on the beach) the staff are lovely too and clearly care about the guests that stay at the Seacote Hotel. The only complaint I have was that the room I was in was right above the bar toilets and I could hear the hand dryer from my room, even with the windows shut and it was on and off until midnight most nights. Other than the noise below I enjoyed my stay here and if I ever come to St Bees again I will probably stay here.

Wonderful staff the owner should be very proud of them,very large room with 3 windows all looking out to sea, lovely decor and super bathroom. A very dog friendly hotel and our fur babies were fussed by everyone which they loved, it has a very welcome lift if stairs are a problem, our luggage was taken to our room for us by a friendly young man. The price for this hotel is very reasonable and dogs are charged £10 per night. I would recommend this hotel to everyone, I just wish it was closer to home as at 80 years old my husband found the journey from Wales quite hard driving.

Beautiful location right near the beach. Our room was lovely, plenty of room. Nice staff. Tired looking in parts of the hotel. We had dinner which I'll be total honest, was shockingly bad and very disappointing. Breakfast wasn't much better but overall, discounting the food, we enjoyed our overnight stay 🌞

What a treasure this hotel is. Lovely friendly staff, clean comfy room. Really good breakfast. The restaurant on site offers great value for money too with home cooked options to choose from. Our executive room had stunning views and again offered brilliant value for money. I was so impressed with the service all round - can’t wait to book again! Would highly recommend!

Fabulous hotel, lovely staff and the manager Pete couldn’t anything more for you. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!!

Lovely staff & buffet breakfast. Located beside the beach great walks etc Dog friendly Sadly rooms have hollow walls very noisy can hear tv & talking in other surrounding rooms.

This is our third time here and what was a nice hotel is now a lovely welcoming establishment.The make over has made such a difference. The lounge is delightful with its new decor carpets and furnishings. We have always found the staff wonderful, helpful, polite and nothing has been too much trouble for them. I presume some of the negative comments were the result of fallout from covid. The food is basic pub food but extremely well cooked and presented. No complaints from me and I am the first to say when something is wrong. Bar prices are quite high but in keeping with other hotels we have stayed in. Our room was exceptionally large newly refurbished and I loved it. We will be back when attending Rosehill Theatre again

On arrival we were ignored by both waiting and bar staff. We had to ask about food as others who came in after us were dealt with first and allowed to order. Once given a menu and shown to a table we decided on our...

Rude bar staff and dismissive of guests when waiting to be served. Food was average pub food Hotel needs TLC and investment as it appears to favour the bar for locals only

We called here for a light bite lunch after a walk on the beach. Done let appearance’s from the outside judge. The staff we met were friendly and helpful. We each had a sandwich the quality and filling were great.

Firstly I want to say that this review is written with a heavy heart as this hotel has so many positives and should have more. Secondly tho unfortunately t he hotel at the moment is more like fawlty towers with some of the bizarre rules...

Had a lovely meal. Food was hot, well, presented and delicious. Nicola our server was very nice and friendly. Would definitely return to eat in the restaurant.

Great service and delicious food!! Highly recommended. Staff very welcoming and social distance measures followed, felt a safe environment,

I recently posted about this hotel with a comment still open. I am pleased to say that this small issue has been resolved to my full satisfaction and yes I would recommend the hotel and the staff

Sunday lunch of a choice of 3 cuts of meat or all 3 veggies were cooked just right and coming from me that’s praise indeed Highly recommend

Quick, friendly service I would recommend if nipping in for light lunch or a drink. Prawn sandwich and chips were nice and came quickly and was well priced.Not the best selection of drinks compared to other bars in the area.The decor could do with updating and the place lacked a bit of atmosphere, but we would be happy to revisit.

We were staying in the hotel for 2 nights and ate here both nights. It was our first trip away after lockdown so we were keen to see how the new processes worked. Our servers all wore face masks/visors as appropriate and all surfaces were cleaned thoroughly. Hand gel dispensers were at the door for exit and entry and a one way system was in operation in the bar area. The hotel asks everyone to wear face coverings in public areas which we were happy to do, removing our masks when we were sitting down at the table. Food was lovely, homely food cooked perfectly and served beautifully. We went into the restaurant on the first night and stayed in the bar on the second. I had the Gammon steak with pineapple fried egg, salad and peas, whilst my husband had the steak chips and mushroom. Second night we both had the fish and chips with salad and peas. All dishes were great and exactly what we wanted. We had a few beers ( husband), and gin and tonics, (me), which were good and well priced. Overall excellent food and service. We felt very safe, as all tables were booked at reception and well spaced apart so plenty of room around us. Obviously we are all learning about the new processes and will get used to wearing masks as time goes on, but the staff here were implementing the new procedures very well and we would be very happy to return.

A friends wedding. Lovely laid room upstairs. Food was brilliant. Drink prices very acceptable. Very enjoyable night. Would return for evening meal

We popped in for a quick drink while in the area and decided to stay for a meal. We had a delicious roast beef dinner, the staff were all very polite and friendly. It was a lovely relaxing afternoon.

Went here 2 nights on the trot for evening meal. The food was ace and the service brilliant. Plenty of choices on menu and staff were very friendly. Was a good atmosphere very chilled and relaxing. Would definitely go back if in the area and would highly recommend to anyone

Ive never left a bad review before but im so dissapointed with the meal we got here. The one star is for the waiting staff. Been coming here for years when at the caravan park and enjoyed the meals but oh Lord what has gone wrong??? Inedible burger I could have used as a hockey puck!!! Burnt bun. Just disappointing all round. Come on guy's up your game no excuse for poor food like this. Let's get back to the decent food of years past.

Food was amazing the chef is doing an excellent job, the bar area would benefit from refurbishment, the staff were very good bar one older lady behind the bar with a bad attitude. The bar area does accommodate dogs and there were treats on the bar and water in tubs for them which is a nice touch.

I booked this hotel on a Friday afternoon for 2 night stay . As it was a last minute booking I couldn’t believe how lucky I’d been to find this Hotel . Our room which was very comfy looked out on to the beach . The cooked breakfast was Yummy the staff was lovely and helpful

Delicious brekkie. Plenty of choice, I was offered egg anyway I wanted, black pudding, mushrooms, beans, sausage, hash brown and bacon. All of which was nicely cooked and very tasty!

Stayed here for one night, four girls to set a friend off who was walking the C2C. Booked on line and on arrival the room was not ready as we were early, we were shown straight into the bar for a coffee / drinks. We went out for the day and on arrival back our room was ready, it was immaculate, the bed was so comfortable and lovely and warm.We ate in the evening and the food was good. As was the breakfast the next morning. Plenty to choose from with a lovely hot breakfast served. Would definitely return and would recommend.

Lunch was excellent good menu good drink selection and dog friendly staff were friendly aswell would highly recommend

We had an amazing Sunday lunch at the seacote Sunday 3rd march. New chef. No carvary. Plated roast dinner, not to be faulted. Beautiful. Mushroom and chive soup. Choice of 3 meats, fish and vegetarian choice. Choice of 3 sweets. We had our cocker spaniel with us and so were accommodated most amiably and allowed to sit in the lounge bar with our pooch. Can highly recommend the food, standard of service and staff. Give it a go.....

We rang to see if they would accommodate us for food with our dogs as we had booked the manor stating we had dogs but was rung before our booking to say we can't bring the dogs as they were busy. No problem at the seacote were made welcome, fairly quite our steaks were very good, staff made a fuss of the dogs , it mato be dated but does that matter staff friendly and good food. Right on the beach if you want to walk your dog.

Nice 2 course Sunday carvery lunch for £11. Soup or terrine for starter, then about 4 or 5 meats with plenty of veg, yorkies & trimmings etc. Staff were good & being dog friendly was great for us

Some people might think it's a bit "dated" but I found it ok. The room I stayed in was a recently renovated one and was clean and the bathroom had a massive walk in shower. The food in the hotel bar was delicious and is to be recommended

The food is terrible so get a few drinks down you before eating. The interior is dated and a little run down and some of the visible working areas are dirty.

Ate a few times here over the years always hoping it's improved but it's still not up to stranded ...

We have just returned home after a 3 night stay at this little hotel. We shared the space with a lovely group of people on a coach trip. They made our trip extra special. We both had lovely rooms with sea views which we enjoyed. Thank you we look forward to returning when we are in the area again. Thank you .

Everything is a little wrong with this hotel. We followed a sign on the outside to find the hotel reception that sent us the wrong way..... The check in was fine, the lady was a little apologetic for our room which had us slightly worried..... There was a wedding on so she said there were no refurbished rooms. The room was incredibly disappointing. There were no mattress/pillow protectors. It looked like a student halls of residence room. It has obviously seen better days. In the bathroom there was a mirror above the bath....so bizarre. It was as clean as it could be but it was not pleasant. We went for breakfast which was in a dull room. Everything was covered in grease, we had to wait for top ups and the quality was poor. We didn't bother going in the second day we went to morrisons instead!

No staff took any notice of us and when we pulled one up, she just said “we are too busy”. There were empty tables....

I'll be honest, when we walked in to the bar we were not expecting much...a large room, very basic. Having said that, it was clean, spacious and tidy so we stayed. The staff were super friendly and very helpful :-). The food seemed expensive but it was really good and you got a lot for your money. Kids enjoyed the lasagne. We had chips and gravy and sides of onion rings- they were really tasty.

I stayed here with my two dogs, the dog friendly rooms have their own access direct out onto the car park and then beach, so no hard work getting through the hotel to get out. As a lone female, I felt quite welcomed and relaxed, had my tea, which was very good and Ok price wise...all the staff were lovely and friendly. There was a large crowd of quite rowdy chaps - bit of language, but I felt safe and I would certainly go back. The hotel is being refurbished but the dog friendly rooms hadn't been done at my time of visiting, but it was all clean.

Had a very good stay here food very good and room was vey clean.staff exalent and very friendly thanks for a good stay

Although our meal was fantastic, I can only rate this as being average due to the foulmouthed men drinking at the bar who every second word began with a c or an f. I've worked in bars and have always asked people to respect other visitors, especially if they have children with them.

Awful service. They were slow, uninterested and rude. Food tasted terrible and it was VERY overpriced. you'll be better off buying some groceries or pre cooked meals.

We were actually staying in a B&B; for a wedding and not at this hotel We had a walk down to the beach and popped in for a drink. We found it very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We decided to have something to eat and there were a lot of choices. We had the deal which was soup, sandwich (which was a massive roll) and chips and it was lovely. If we ever visit St Bees again would definitely pop in again.

We were fed here whilst staying and the food was well served, hot, with decent sized portions and an acceptable choice.

Stayed over in hotel after golfing on the coast. Checked in, quick shower, a few games of darts and a few pints before heading into the village. Breakfast in the morning was fine, staff were friendly and helpful. The view out our window would've been nice hadn't it been for the horrid weather! Great location and well priced.

11 of my family had the pleasure of staying here over new year, The Seacote building is a little tired but the staff were more than happy to show off the modernisation of the hotel which is underway as I write this. Some of our group were initially in the older rooms, but we had a lovely surprise when Sue in reception asked if we would like to upgrade our rooms at no extra charge, the new rooms were bright, airy, very warm and modern, the staff quickly departed the rooms and our moves were made with no fuss. During our stay we all ate 8 tines in the hotel, and each meal was truly excellent, fast service and well presented by nice happy staff. Our evenings were spent in the bar area as the weather was not too good and we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who clearly take a great deal of pride in their hotel and are very excited with the ongoing improvements. have to say a special mention to Sue on Reception and Joe who along with all the other staff for making our stay such an enjoyable experience, so much so we are all returning for the same dates in 2018. Thank you Seacote

2016 attended a beautiful summer wedding reception - food excellent. Attended Dec 2017 very surprised.and disappointed as the Christmas lunch - very poor bland tasteless - most sent back uneaten. Wouldn't return to eat there again.

Had two dishes from the new veggie menu, easily best veggie in Cumbria. Wife had spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli, I had quinoa and nut loaf, would highly recommend.

We stayed across the street for one night, getting ready for the C2C. Nothing special about the place, though the food was good, service a little slow. Main thing was the location: close to the B&B;, with good food.

Didnt stay in this hotel but ate here. Food was excellent. We had bar meal and also had Sunday carvary which was excellent. Bar meal was a prawn sandwich, wasnt expecting much when it arrived it was lovely, also accompanied by salad and chips. Sunday carvery is not for the faint hearted lots of choice. I believe they have recently changed chef which has made a big difference as my parents ate here on a visit a couple of months ago and they said the food was atrocious.

We found the room nice clean and had everything we needed. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff very helpful. The food was fabulous and very large portions no complaints whatsoever. Would stay here again.

We had decided to take a trip to Saint Bees to visit the beach and have a wander only around as the weather wasn't particularly brilliant we decided to get something to eat before heading back, this wasn't an easy task as the limited pubs only started serving food at 6:00 pm which was a little late for us. So this place was recommended to us as serving food all day as you enter the building it looks tired and in need of a lot of TLC, but despite this we still decided to give them a go. We both ordered lasagne which came with salad and garlic bread, the garlic bread was rock hard and the salad was a mix of leaves celery pepper all finally chopped up no dressing or tomatoes. The lasagne although a large portion was absolute slop I couldn't even tell what the meat was or the congealed which I assume was meant to be the cheese sauce, it was meant to come with chips but these had to be ordered separately and honestly I wouldn't have bothered they tasted like they had been cooked in old cooking oil! If you're looking for somewhere that serves edible food than avoid this place at all costs, it may be cheap but even that amount is far too much to pay......

Only visited because our 1st choice of eating establishment was fully booked. Went for a bar snack, but bar did not look very inviting when we walked in. Really needs a bit of tlc. Wasn't expecting too much. Food was only average. If we had gone earlier in week we would not have returned.

The Seacote is a great family orientated restaurant / hotel which offers good value food with really pleasant staff. Sunday lunch especially is a not to be missed meal . We are locals and often dine here .

Poor bedroom & bathroom, needs complete refurbishment. Dining room & food good, good staff, friendly & helpful.

we went to this hotel on sunday for the carvery,after being told about by a work colleague,it was exellent could not be faulted in any way shape or form we would deffo go back again keep up the great hospitality,

We visited for a family lunch while staying near St Bees. The first vague warning bell was when we saw how long the menu was - page after page of choices, which is rarely a good sign in my experience, but the choice of places to eat in St Bees is limited and I thought well how bad can it really be? - worse than I could ever have imagined was the answer. I ordered the grilled salmon served with charlotte potatoes, seasonal veg and a lemon butter. I received a fillet of crumbed salmon which was seemed as though it may have been straight from the freezer but was at least vaguely edible. This was actually served with rice, one very sad tiny shrivelled up potato, some mange tout and peas that looked (and tasted) as though they had been cooked 2 days earlier, and a strawberry??!! Oh and the lemon butter was a jug of some sort of curdled sour tasting sauce which was luckily served on the side. While I do like good food, I am not a particularly fussy eater and will usually manage to eat most things that are put in front of me, even if not particularly nice. This meal however turned my stomach and I only managed a few mouthfuls. This was the same for everyone else in our group of 8 adults. Three people ordered the 'chicken stack' which was described as a chicken and bacon stack. What they were served was a a few lumps of chicken swimming in a bowl of what seemed to be the same creamy curdled sauce as was on the side of my salmon. The food was absolutely disgusting and we left eight fairly untouched plates. My husband had the fish & chips which he felt was 'passable'. I honestly could not have imagined it was possible to be served food this bad in 2017. It was as thought they had just put together whatever random ingredients they had in the kitchen to try and cobble together some meals. The two children's meals (fish fingers) came covered in salt. And several of the glasses provided for the drinks were dirty. It really was the worst meal we have ever eaten. It really is such a shame as the hotel is in a fantastic location and with a bit of an investment and the right chef and menu, could be made into a destination lunch spot.

Called in at St Bees for a dinner break,only 2 places on the front to choose from & one was a cafe & we wanted dinner.

The food was absolutely disgusting and we left eight fairly untouched plates. My husband had the fish & chips which he felt was 'passable'. I honestly could not have imagined it was possible to be served food this bad in 2017. It was as thought they had just put together whatever random ingredients they had in the kitchen to try and cobble together some meals. The two children's meals (fish fingers) came covered in salt. And several of the glasses provided for the drinks were dirty. It really was the worst meal we have ever eaten. It really is such a shame as the hotel is in a fantastic location and with a bit of an investment and the right chef and menu, could be made into a destination lunch spot.

Yes it was not good at all, the food was awful and no one enjoyed it but on the other hand the service was good, very friendly.

Called with my wife last week whilst we were staying in St Bees and the food was fabulous and reasonably priced. The staff couldn't have been nicer and went out of their way to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely go back.

As we arrived at the sea cote the building looked tidy the garden area was small but had seating to be able to take in the sea air walk to the sandy beach 2 mins walk the staff were friendly the bar area and function room were clean and tidy also the food was lovely (buffet style) and lots of choice we didn't stay at the hotel but family did ( rooms dated and need modernized )the room my mam & dad stayed in the shower didn't work

Stopped here a couple of times whilst house hunting. Some of the areas in the hotel are looking a bit tired but the rooms are always clean. They have a great bar & restaurant and the staff are all really friendly. Tea & coffee facilities are well stocked & there are loads of bikkies!

Very dated and past its best but fair bar prices ,we never had a meal there but the menu did look quite good so I cant comment on that.

The food was very good I have never had such large potions in a hotel before. Staff very attentive.One night we thought we would have a smaller meal so we chose soup and sandwich and chips. Thinking all would be small potions no way. It was lovely side salad also .

stopped over on a business trip, room was very comfortable and had a sea view, breakfast was superb, staff were very friendly & courteous. Should you choose this hotel ask for a refurbished room

I've submitted a review for the hotel so this is just for the Restaurant.
