Stayed for weekend break with 7 friends. Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and efficient. Food excellent, dinner and breakfast. Rooms clean, comfortable, had all we wanted. Good position overlooking sea with path down to beach. Decor slightly dated but OK (in keeping with the average age of guests 60+, including us!!). Reasonable value for money. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

On a mini break, I stayed at the Pines Hotel for one night. It was extremely enjoyable. Staff were very friendly with a decent knowledge of the local area and were very helpful. We had a warm welcome from them. Our hotel room was comfortable if a little small. Although some reviews call the hotel past its prime, the room... More

Stayed at The Pines with a colleague, found the hotel excellent value for money, very clean and comfortable, perhaps a little dated but still very good value. Friendly staff and fantastic sea views.

My husband, newborn and I stayed here in April 2012 with extended family. It was ok but it felt like we had stepped back in time as the decor was incredibly dated (excluding the foyer area which appeared to be recently refurbished) and it appeared to be seeking to conjure an image of eras gone by (70's/80's). I also found... More

Amazing cliff top views. Has been upgraded and our sea view room had all the main facilities which were in good working order. Great breakfast, but dinner less impressive. Friendly staff.
