The Pines Hotel

Fantastic location and excellent service. Would definitely visit again 😊

We liked: The excellent ever helpful staff. Welcoming reception and bar. The Corona precautions including screens in dining area. One way system in hotel. Sufficient car parking. Gardens. Steps for direct access to beach. Things that could be improved: Hot water very hot and wash basin not plumbed in as per building regs. Cold tap was on the left, hot on the right. Very dangerous, particularly if anyone is partially sighted. This could be easily sorted. Steps to beach not gated. Potential hazard for children and dogs. No fridge in room. Fridges come as standard in many cheaper chain hotels. Clunky room keys and fobs (as opposed to key cards) to carry around. Creaky floorboards.

The friendliest, most helpful hotel staff I have encountered for a long time. In particular they went out of their way to fit us in for dinner just before last orders. All the staff were superb. Great breakfast and evening meal. Large, well equiped, comfortable room, strong wifi. Highly recommended. I'll definitely stay again.

Very impressed with the carefulness of the staffs with Convi-19 situation. Made us feel safe. They all worn masks. The location is fabulous. We enjoy ourstay very much.

My husband and I were booked to stay at the Pines Hotel for two nights for our wedding anniversary. However, due to the hotel having to close because of COVID-19, our stay was cancelled. The hotel offered us the opportunity to change our dates either for a later stay or to stay the last night they were open before closing. We accepted this offer as we were already in the area, and were so pleased they were flexible with our arrangements and let us change our date of stay. The hotel is in a fabulous location with views out over the sea and towards the cliffs. Unfortunately there was a howling wind so we couldn't sit outside on the lawn but in summer this would be stunning! We had a very spacious and comfortable room with balcony overlooking the sea. The only negative about this was that when we opened our balcony sliding door, because it was so windy, the individual ceiling panels started to flap up and down and move around which was a bit disconcerting. It would be good if the hotel could look into securing these so that they don't move if there is a bit of a draft. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we and a lovely dinner in the restaurant on site. We were sorry we couldn't stay longer. Access to the private beach is also lovely - lots of steps!

Nice hotel and the room was smart and comfortable with a lovely sea view. The only downside was poor water pressure in the shower but it is an old hotel with old plumbing. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was ideal with just a short walk into the main town.

Excellant stay, staff very hepful and friendly. Food was extremely good. Hotel was ideally sited for our visit

We had a nice stay at this hotel. The room was quite small but the bed was comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was okey and plentiful, unfortunately a bit over cooked.

Excellent

Amazing cliff top location with great views. My single room was small but had everything. I didnt eat so cannot review the food.
