Booked 1 night away with my friend for post Christmas wind down. (& left the husbands & children at home!) This was just what we needed! Very relaxed open living space, staff were friendly, our large studio had amazing sea views. The food was delicious & very reasonably priced. Loads of parking. Pool was a little chilly, but hot tub was perfect! Spotlessly clean throughout the hotel. Lovely decor, particularly the Dick Pearce bellyboards used as wall art. We ordered pizza & pasta from the food truck & it was delivered to our room. I hope to return again!

“Dog walk stay”

We tried the newly designed hotel and our studio overlooking the ocean was smart, spotlessly clean and well designed. We had our dog and she had plenty of room to explore.

We tried the newly designed hotel and our studio overlooking the ocean was smart, spotlessly clean and well designed. We had our dog and she had plenty of room to explore. Everything was great but the bed's comfort was hampered by a poorly positioned over sized padded headrest, a design element that looked good but was not practical. Really friendly staff.

The mix of the Scandi / 60s revival decor is an absolute treat: airy, light, inviting spaces greet you around every corner. The two dining options - although apparently not actually run by SeaSpace - are both excellent with imaginative fare and prompt service (Tallo being perhaps a little pricey for the portion sizes we thought) and the staff are generally accessible, unfailingly charming and helpful. We were pretty happy with the layout of our accommodation (we had a large studio with a bunk room) which was fine for a family of four. The kitchen is quite well equipped although the pans are sadly not of a size that enables catering for four at once which is a shame. One really big irritation was the lack of opening windows and reliance on the rather unpredictable air conditioning system which fought a losing battle against a boiling towel rail which couldn't be turned off. Generally the air ducting throughout the room was quite a lot noisier than one would expect and we were also surprised that the doors had no internal night lock which is pretty standard in hotels these days. We thought the pool and hot tub were of a good standard - excellent changing facilities with amazing showers - but we did think that the temperature of the small learner pool could be raised to a more generous level and people should be encouraged not to come in wearing outdoor shoes: sadly the floors weren't very pleasant in spite of staff trying their best to clean them regularly. Overall the vision of this place is quite wonderful, it's generally quiet and the location is ideal for beaches and walks. We certainly came away with a positive impression but there were just a few disappointing elements that hopefully can be considered and addressed for the future.
