The Heathlands is a reasonable budget option. Its location is good, and the staff seem friendly. It could do with investment though, as the furnishings are tired. Note that the rooms don't have air conditioning. That isn't a problem 95% of the time in the UK, but if you catch a heatwave as I did, you'll be trying to sleep in an oven.
Itâs been good because of its location which is very close to the beach. Very nice staff too . The only downside is the room being too warm as the windows were open a bit and we couldnât sleep properly although there were two fans . It would have been better if there was an air conditioning.
Room spacious but location awful. Room above kitchen. View out of the window was of the dirty fans and rooftop.
Wifi signal very poor in this room.
I was told that to change rooms I had to check out at 10am, amuse myself for 5 hours which I had paid for Then check back in. This is poor planning. I remained in the room as it was only for another night and was not about to be out of a room for 5 hours.
Parking is ample and reasonable.
They do not do housekeeping, only after room vacated. I dont stay in hotels so that I clean, tidy and make my own bed. I have to do that at home. If u need towels, ask for them etc. If I had been there a week, I would have had to clean my own room. No thanks.
Hotel caters to mostly coach loads of elderly guests.
The hotel was very dated but comfortable and we were upgraded to a suite which was lovely. Didnt dine in but the restaurant was busy. Also a nice walk to the fantastic beach.
Very loud, car allowed to beep their horn extensively in the car park late at night. Bed was very uncomfortable, could feel every spring. Hotel full of asylum seekers. Overall very poor, would not return.
