We got an awesome deal for 2 nights away with our 2 kids (aged 4 & 2). The Carrington is in a decent location but it is about a 20min walk to town/beach so bus or taxi may be the way forward unless you want to drive. Family room was lush (we were in 356) with supersized double bed, bunk... More

We checked in at 1pm on a Saturday, rooms were ready and we unpacked. The reception staff were a bit offhand but we were all in good spirits so it didn't matter. We took a map of the town and headed out. On our return we decided to take advantage of the hotels dinner offer of children eat free before... More

Clean room that was serviced every morning Breakfast! Negative - Decor needs updating/replacing and minor repairs/tlc needed throughout. We would have rated higher if the building was... More

We stayed for one night over the recent bank holiday in a family room - 2 adults & 2 children. I was pleasantly surprised with the room having 4 full sized beds for us all with clean sheets & relatively comfortable. We all slept well and had an undisturbed sleep despite initially doubting this as there was a boxing match... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night during the 2013 May bank holiday. We are a family of four with two small children. The hotel is easy enough to find and check in was pleasant. From there we had to take two seperate lifts and travel half way across the hotel to find our room. First impressions were not... More

Whilst this hotel is perfectly adequate, where the 3 star rating comes from still eludes us. The general state of decor is sadly in a bad state of disrepair. The rooms are very basic (once they can find a clean one) and the many winding corridors don't give the best first impression. We suffered a setback on arrival,which was quickly... More
