Nothing
Everything
We enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. Special thanks to the really helpful staff on reception. A travel cot was supplied when requested. I found an iron and hairdryer in the drawers on the day I left. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, with 2 pillows per person. This hotel doesn't have food on site, however we were told there was a local hotel where breakfast was available. There is a large room with sofas and tables and chairs on a patio outside. We used these to socialise - bringing your own food or drink is fine. We enjoyed using the indoor pool and facilities (closes at 7pm). The sauna and steam room have to be requested at reception and take a while to heat up. There are no showers by the pool so I would take a towel robe on my next stay to walk back to my room. The reception staff do offer additional towels to use at the pool (although they are fluffy microfibre towels that don't dry well). Our room was not cleaned during our 3 night stay but cleaners were around to ask for milk, teabags, toilet roll etc. There is free parking on site however it is a small free (non managed) space for about 7 cars. We were able to get a space providing we were back by 5/5.30pm each evening. The road outside had free parking but was busy the whole of our stay. Location wise it is a short walk into the town centre and cost about £8 to get a taxi back.
No shower in the pool area - even a small cold water shower would allow people to wash off after using the sauna before getting into the pool. Parking was a concern for us - I would rather have pre-bookable spaces that are paid for. I booked an additional room for our group via the Central hotel booking line (BHL hotels) - their communication was very poor with key payment details not passed on to the hotel itself . Sadly using booking.com was much smoother and well organised.
Location perfect and quiet just of the main road room was fantastic nice host really good stay was meeting family members and train station was 10 minutes walk so convenient location to there
Nothing all good
The hotel was clean and great value for money it just needs a little tidying up modernising a little but apart from that we had a brilliant time the pool and jacuzzi was amazing staff was brilliant especially the young gentlemen sat at checking in desk
There wasn't much we didn't like
It very convenient to the Town centre the faculties are very good.
Location was good , room was clean, reception very helpful, swimming pool , sauna and steam room all were functioning properly,
Room could have had a small fridge, charging a couple of £ extra per night would soon recover the cost
Budget stay.
Hassan was an incredible host, I extended my stay twice both due to his and the teams hospitality and for the incredible facilities which have been wonderful as I have been working from the hotel and recovering from a back injury so its helped enourmously to have staff willing to assist like he has been, helping me with things like a chair for my back and the housekeeping staff refreshed my room when I done the first extention - it was spotless and they carefully respected my things. I switched from the appartment to a suite but both are fantastic! He even went out his way to wake up early to allow me use of the pool due to my packed work schedule not fitting with the normal facility times. AMAZING STAY. Would highly recommend! 🫶

I cant' fault this place. I have nothing negative to say.
Friendly staff.
Nice clean hotel in a good location. Sauna, steam room and pools were an added bonus. Friendly staff
Absolutely fantastic hotel. Staff were incredibly polite and friendly, room was spotless. We entered our room to the fan on and window open, so the room was fresh. Beautiful swimming pools, garden and balcony, all very well kept. We will defiently be returning in the future!
Bed was slightly hard, however we slept very well on them! Unsure why the reviews are so negative- the price paid was more than fair for what you get in return and it's a beautiful place to stay at! Do not allow the negative reviews to put you off!
Nice room . good location
Stair to room. But most places are.
Location, private car park,
Was ok bit run down, needs a bit of a sprouse
It was ok
Hassan was excellent when checking us in
Picture of automatic lock confusing on the front door as 2 options! Someone needs to look at it as if they have never been before!!!
Welcome from staff and proximity to the seafront. Fairly priced.
Very basic and decor tired. Toilet seat was so loose it was hazardous. The digital access is problematic for those with visual impairments.
Very good member staff Hasan thank to him
Very good experience. Good atmosphere. Good room Good staff. Great experience in the steam room
The hotel was in a nice place centrally located for me. The room was large, clean and decently equipped
The toilet reservoir kept dripping all the time, some furniture in the room was damaged and the telly was on its last legs.
The guy on reception was so helpful and courteous,the room was value for money for one night but very clean ,the bed was comfortable and shower was perfect
The man on reception is very helpful, you can see how hard he works to make you have an enjoyable stay. Great location, lovely sauna and pools.
Having to walk up the hill after a few drinks 🤪 nothing to complain about….
Very good service
The guy receptionist is very nice and accommodating.
Quite old and indoor poor was not available on our stay.
Location
It didn’t represent the pictures advertised on booking.com. Whole place completely run down. In need of refurbishment. Unsafe and unclean. Do not stay here. Book elsewhere.
Apart from the staff, the entire hotel is dilapidated, stinky, damp, peelings on the walls, dirty worn out rugs and facilities begging for renovation.
I did not like anything there. Looks like booking .com scammed me. My family had to leave way before the due check out date. No food aound, expensive restaurants and choky hotel.
Everywhere was clean, the staff member excellent, setting lovely and street parking available. Fan in the room was much appreciated.
Accessing reception initially difficult but staff member excellent. For an apartment we expected utensils, crockery etc. We had 1 mug, minimal cutlery and no plates, bowls etc. If that was intentional then please make it clearer.
The staff member on at check in was very nice and helpful. Room was clean.
Did not look like what pictures showed. Decor needs up dating, painting, carpets need cleaning, rust on beams on ceiling of indoor pool. Didnt wish to you use indoor or outdoor pool after seeing them. Would i stay there again…. No sorry!
The Room/Suite was amazing,had a great sea view,lovely indoor and outdoor pool, beautiful house/hotel ,really lovely guy running it with other staff, really helpful friendly
For the money charged is ok for a quick stay,it is basic,somewhere to sleep and rest,
Little fridge in room and aircon ,fan I. Hot weather does not fix the heat in room,
the pool is tiny but well maintained
Lo millor, l'atenció d'en Hassan, és un noi excel.lent!. Pendent de tot el que necessitàvem , amable i disposat.
Està situat dalt de la muntanya i costa arribar cada vegada que decideixes anar a l'hotel... t'ho has de pensar 2 cops. És molt cansat accedir caminat. Si portes cotxe llavors és perfecte. Pots aparcar a la porta.
Staff were very helpful and friendly and it had great facilities
I can honestly say there was nothing we didn’t like
The location was great and the facilities were excellent for me and my friends. I wasn't actually expecting to have all the facilities. The stuff were very helpful and accommodating to any of our requirements and we've had a great time. Shame we were there for just one night, but we are already planning to go back for a longer weekend.
Could do with a a bit refurb as is a bit outdated, but has it's own charm and character.
The staff where very helpful and friendly. Only stayed one night but the families were excellent.
Location
The room was in poor condition. Curtains were paper thin as were the walls. I wouldn't stay again
Walking distance of the sea front
Was a little dated could do with a freshen up
The bathroom
Floors were smelling damp
It was basically not what I expected and I wouldn’t go back
Hassan and the cleaners are amazing
Sometimes hot water is unreliable
Zwembad
Vervallen staat Verloedering
The pools (indoor and outdoor) were superb. When relaxing by the outside pool, we felt like we were in the south of France. Being an adult only hotel was fantastic as it was quiet. The manager was so lovely, helpful and worked so hard. The room, although described as a small double and being the cheapest available, was in fact very spacious and comfortable. The security was excellent, with codes to get into the hotel and rooms. Although the car park was small, we managed to get a space every time we came back from a day out.
The room could have been decorated a bit better (just needed a lick of paint), as could the stairway and landing.
Swimming pool, sauna! Really good.
Nothing
Good value
Nothing but the key pads was confusing at first but I got used to it
Quiet location and pleasant place to stay, really friendly and helpful reception, clean room. Sauna and steam room were fine.
As others have said, common areas are tired and indoor pool is shallow. No food available.
Nothing
We were told the day before travel that the outdoor pool was closed. We therefore cancelled as their cancellation policy states that a refund would be offered. 6 weeks later they have refused to honour the refund and Booking.com have raised an official complaint but said there is no guarantee a refund would be forthcoming. We have stayed at the Crofton a few times over the last 2or3 years but rest assured we will not be staying there again!!
Receptionist staff was very helpful and professional
The carpeting of the hotel was dirty, and need cleaning.
Great location , friendly staff and the grounds and facilities were great Took my own food booking an apartment and was able to enjoy the peace and quiet in the morning felt like I was sat in the Mediterranean
Looking a bit tired but that isn’t important to me
Unfortunately I did not have opportunity to do anything other than look at the facilities, sit in the lounge and sit on the end of the bed and lay back for 10 minutes as I received a call that forced a channge of plan and immediate departure! However, it seemed a great place, staff were lovely, the 10 minutes on the bed was comfortable and the pools looked inviting and I was very disappointed I did not get to use them. 10minute stroll to the beach. Excellent value. Limited parking but I had no issues as I arrived early.
Perfect location for me all the time we need for summer vacation are all nearby and walking distance. The staff most especially the front desk man at the reception is very friendly and helpful and easy to talk to. If we need something he easily responsed and always helping us. Highly recommended for vacation. Try it guys.
None
Staff member at reception was accommodating and found solutions to any issues. Receptionist went above and beyond.
Receptionist
Clean. Staff pleasant
The steam room and sauna is always bang on very relaxing and the pool aswell
Schoon
Verouderde accommodatie, daardoor lijkt het vies, maar is het niet
Getting to leave.
Requested refund and have had nothing back due to the room booked looking nothing like the pictures on the advert.. disgusting, had sink unblocked in the room and the bathroom stunk, view was none existing..
The guy on reception was pleasant
It was a dump, beautiful building, very tired and unkempt. Strong distinctive smell off weed. We did not stay and chose to cut our journey short. Not a place I would recommend at all Note - photos online do not represent the real hotel or maybe they do when it was renovated many years ago
Definitely swimming pool inside and outside sauna
A bit to small room and shower room like for 2 people
outdoor pool indoor pool
could not get a alcohol drink
We did not stay here as was not as described and didnt accommodate us well or listen to our request. Unable to get direct contact with hotel. When we got there we was told the hot tub is not working for 2 years.
The staff where friendly and helpful loved the indoor and outdoor pool and the steam room
Although I liked the indoor pool the tiles on the floor need some T L C and the guicusie could be a bit more bubbly
The location is was only 15 min walk to the front. Room was fine.
Bed was uncomfortable, cheap mattress, springs kept going off. Broken set of draws. Was to get up grade.
Room and bathroom all ckean and tidy. Nice toiletries. Fan in the room thanks. Liked tge quirky decor.
If the bed had been more comfy you would have got a perfect 10.
Location was good for me.
I thought I booked B&B. Turns out no breakfast available at this hotel. Also touch key Pad front & bedroom door. I could just about see the numbers on the pad.
The pool and steam room. Also the receptionist Hassan was such a lovely person very helpful.
Outdoor pool
Hard pillows
Parking was ok
They had nobody at reception you had to ring a number and wait, there was no bar or breakfast which we thought there was, the room was small to hot, and very noisy early hours of the morning with people fighting outside, the pool area inside was not as clean with all leaves as you walked in, and the tiles on the bottom of the pool where coming off, the outside pool was not able to be used and the hottube had all green in it and hadn't been cleaned for years, the grass had been cut but not properly, fag butt's everywhere and the only food was pot noodle and crisps, radiators falling of the wall to our room and a light hanging all in all needs totally revamping then you can call it a hotel, also the smell of we think it was a staff member smoking weed as the smell was always strong going passed one room.
Location and staff
No room service was given in any of the three nights
We didn't stay. The hotel was dirty and there were stains everywhere - on the carpet, on the bed - thick dust everywhere. Hotel and Booking.com refused to refund us. Ended up at the local Travel Lodge. Very unhappy :(

Very comfortable room, lovely friendly staff (especially the reception gent), nothing was any trouble. Hotel could have been amazing, of which im guessing i would have had to pay a lot more than I did. This was due mainly to the hotel being a little tired. Great value for money and location wasn't too bad.
It's not great if you have mobility issues as there is no lift in the hotel and the walk to the beach and local shop is very up and down hills. Limited parking is also an issue as you have only 1 side of the road in which you can park without getting a ticket, if no space is available in the car park.
A személyzet nagyon segítőkész és barátságos.
The staff the hotel was absolutely amazing brilliant
The atmosphere was top notch so relaxingthe owner was brilliant
Najlepszy stosunek ceny do jakości jaki widziałem w UK. Sauna, basen i jacuzzi oraz przestronny pokój. Przytulny ogród z kolejnym basenem i bardzo pomocna i przyjazna obsługa w cenie pokoju gdzie indziej. Brak kluczy i wszystko na kody nie musisz się martwić gdzie zostawić klucz, nie zapomnieć itd.
Brak opcji śniadań. Tylko dlatego nie ma 10/10 poza tym super. Widać że ma potencjał rozwoju
The host was excellent really friendly swimming pool great
Friday welcome clean and welcoming hotel

Hassan and the cleaning staff Molly
Not sure
Both swimming pools
No restaurant for tea and breakfast
Guy on reception was very friendly and helpful.
Other than the guy on reception in the evening there appeared to be no staff at all. No bar, no dining options. It feels like attempts have been made to refurbish the place, doors are new, electronic codes to get in and out, but in other areas it’s run down; we opened the curtains to find the glass window pane was completely cracked which was dangerous. Carpet stained, shower broken and taped together. Didn’t risk using the pool area.
We had a wonderful stay! The host was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room exceeded our expectations it was so beautiful and comfortable that we decided to extend our stay by two more nights. Everything was peaceful, and no one disturbed us during our stay. We also appreciated being able to come and go at any time, which gave us a lot of flexibility. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There were only a couple of very minor things worth mentioning, and they didn’t affect our stay. One of the windows couldn’t be opened, and we found an old, full bag of chips behind the curtain, which was probably just overlooked by the housekeeping staff. It wasn’t a big issue at all. As a small suggestion, it would be great if the outdoor pool could stay open until around 10 PM, and if a few pool toys, such as inflatables or a ball, were available for guests. Overall, these are just small suggestions, and they did not take away from our great experience.
Super kind , helpful customer service from Hassan. Thank you for going above and beyond!
De behulpzaamheid van het personeel. Ze doen echt hun best voor je. Mooi buitenzwembad wat goed uitkwam met deze warmte!
Alles was okay wat je voor deze prijs kan verwachten.
Very friendly and helpful front desk man-went above and beyond! Lovely high ceilings, lovely bedroom, comfortable to sleep, fan in room, very clean bathroom, swimming pools are a great bonus
Needs a little work doing and would be 5* for me
Everything!
Nothing
Everything! Such a lovely hotel with sauna and pool we extended our stay, would 100% recommend.
Nothing.
The man on reception was very helpful and polite the cleanliness and fresh towels and bedding, the price was amazing
The outdoor pool was closed and only got notification the day before we arrived
Room size was great!
Friendly customer service
Broken facilities, very dirty carpet, very hot , horrible bathroom.
The indoor pool sauna steam room out door pool was out of service
The outside pool was being maintained which has know been opened up on us leaving beautiful grounds rooms are secure to made really welcome
Rooms very light early in the morning, blackout curtains would be helpful. Pressure in shower was very poor
We left after one night main reason no mattress protector no pillow protectors and the quilt looked unclean
The location was fantastic you walked 10mins and you was at the beach and the bars, the staff was lovely polite and would do anything to make you happy.
There was a few stains on the carpet a cracked window not a fantastic view as I payed for a suite. The shower head was in tape but come very loose when using there was a large crack in the ceiling too. The outdoor pool was out of order and when asked it would be done tomorrow when clearly he had no idea but the indoor pool was lovely but still needed some tlc as there was a lot of rust. There was a lot of ants in the garden area. We did book this hotel for the outdoor pool for this reason but there was no update on the website that this was out of order.
Wonderful stay again. I will continue to keep going back to crofton house. Beautifully clean and comfortable rooms and the manager Hassan always has the most wonderful welcome, nothing is too much and he is so accommodating and thoughtful and it makes such a difference. Would recommend for a simple. Peaceful stay.
It had good parking it was in a quiet area
Nothing
Location was great and the late availability and online appearance appeared attractive
The carpets were abysmal. Dirty and strong odour, we simply could not stay! Reception eventually offered elsewhere, but we had already booked the Hilton for the exact same price. No comparison otherwise. The grounds were overgrown. Whilst the room and reception appeared clean, the strong odour near same in bedroom was enough to put us off permanently.
Great location friendly staff Hassan was very accommodating finding us everything we needed Molly was very helpful and always had a smile on her face Kiera was also very polite and helpful
The outdoor pool was not ready
Plenty of parking. Location was in a quiet area. Room was very clean. Really good shower.
A couple of steep hills to and from property,here and there. Only a problem for me(copd), no problem for my wife.
Great staff, amazing location, large clean room
Outside does not do this hotel justice
Hassan the receptionist went out of his way to assist upon our arrival.
