Urban Beach Hotel

I was greeted by a small very wild, yapping dog, threatening to bite me. Several other people who were drinking at the bar, came across to me. I woman came and tried to qieten the dog and one came from the bar and stated 'We are closed'. No apology, no offer of help.

We stopped for a drink but ended up staying for lunch. The service was simply amazing. Very friendly staff. A little different but we loved it. A must try if you can. I hope to be back real soon. This belongs to the Urban Reef restaurant on the seafront which is another must.

We booked two great rooms for the weekend as a celebration of my daughter and her boyfriend's graduations. The hotel looked amazing online so we booked direct. Mark was really helpful in advance to ensure that the 'extras' that I wanted to arrange were in place. The hotel more than lived up to the descriptions I had read. Both rooms were fantastic and the staff were happy for us to arrive very late in the evening and served the 'welcome cocktails' I had asked for - they were great. During our stay, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent and the quality of the fittings, coffee, furnishings etc in the rooms was outstanding. All in, a real treat of a weekend and it was a pleasure to enjoy it in a great area with really helpful staff.
