    No A/C, but we knew that going in.

    It was a great old hotel. There were 3 live bands the night we were there—it was so much fun! The property is beautifully manicured and the view was to die for! Sadly, we didn’t leave enough time to eat breakfast beyond yogurt and toast.

    The only issue was no internet in the garden rooms, management stated it was an internet provider issue this was not true as the main hotel had full access, I was brushed off when I complained and as I was staying tor 4 nights my request to move was rejected as fully booked ( surly all guests had not booked for the week) I ended up using my mobile phone Data( as limited tv channels only,) as I was roaming it cost me to use data. This made my stay disappointing.

    Most staff were professional friendly, complaint to reception was brushed off,felt there was no point trying to escalate the issue.room was very clean and the cleaners, breakfast staff all made me feel welcome and nothing was a problem.

    The waitresses in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast were not very attentive and did not come across as being very friendly.

    The walls in the garden rooms are very thin, and we could hear every word spoken and the TV in the neighbour's room... We would have also liked another hour or two for check-out.

    We loved our stay at the Haven, the views from the restaurant and the room were incredible. Everything you need is in walking distance: the town centre, shops, the sea, parks, the cliff walk, etc. The room was lovely, great water pressure in the shower! Great dinner and great breakfast (which was included in the price).

    Great solo act in the bar on the Friday night but we would have liked if he could have played on for another hour - he was excellent. Wasn't mad about the Wolfe Tones type act on the Saturday - personally found some song lyrics offensive .. having said that the bar was rocking.

    Very helpful and friendly staff - went out of their way to assist. The view from the room over the sea was beautiful - a wonderful surprise in a wonderful village. Normally we stay in larger 4 star hotels but this was a fabulous change - a family run, very polished small hotel with great food and staff. Great new event space just opened - spacious and modren. As it happened The Coronas played on our second night and the management sorted us with tickets even though it was sold out ages ago. Icing on the cake of a fab weekend.

    Piped music in the dining room and lounge on one night was a little too loud. I had poached eggs one morning and they were over cooked.. the yoke was not a bit runny. The scrambled egg the second morning was also over cooked. The fried eggs my friend had looked perfect.

    The location is really beautiful. Our room was to the front of the house, so we looked straight out to sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Because the hotel is small and individual, it felt like going to a house party.

    it is a shame about all the construction at the moment which we were only advised of about 3 days prior when it was too late to book anything else! The “executive sea view room” whilst has a lovely view (over the construction at the moment) is a little on the small price for the money!

    It’s a lovely property, the staff are so friendly and helpful!

    Building works but this did not disturb us, only thing was a blind on bathroom window as this overlooked the works, glass was frosted but could have done with a blind whilst using the facilities.

    Location, close by the sea, great views from our garden room. Staff were attentive, friendly, good was fantastic and tasty. Thank you
