My husband and I have just returned from a 7 day break at the 'Tor Park Hotel' Whilst we enjoyed the trip very much, some people found fault with everything they could think of which was both annoying and unfair to the staff. We found the staff at the hotel were more than helpful and very professional, the driver Wayne... More

Finding your way round this hotel is as the title suggests - rooms everywhere! For a two star this hotel is not bad. The only grumble was the restaurant service was utter chaos at times! this area certainly needs looking at!!!!! 10minute walk to the beach as the location is just outside town. Local bus just outside hotel every 10mins... More

Hello Mick Yes I agree. The building evolved starting as two separate buildings however when you come and see us again you should find it easier. I am sorry the service was not up to its usual standard usually we are complimented in this area. Thank you for your comments on the staff and cleanliness. More

If you're looking for a friendly, warm, happy experience you won't go far wrong here. The hotel is very clean and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. More like a family atmosphere and very helpful. More

My wife and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. For what we paid it was o\k.but there was some problems i.e. (a) If items where not chosen from the English Breakfast i.e. eggs,tomatoes,baked beans no substitutes were made. (b) If the non soup starter was chosen at dinner i.e. garlic mushrooms these were served... More

Hello Cotswoldken. Thank you for your comments. If you had required a substitute at breakfast this would have been no trouble at all ie 2 rashers bacon/2 eggs/ 2 sausages etc. I will ensure the staff pass on this information from now on. Thank you for your compliments about the staff I will nesure they are passed on. More

Our room was clean, the food was okay but had to send it back to be reheated on a couple of times. Tyler was our waiter, he did a top job. The girls at the bar were very professional. We didnt do the entaintment due to the small area it was in and the chairs we put in rows. We... More

We stayed here from Feb 20 for 4 nights. Our stay cost £133 each for which we were more than adequately fed with similar food we would eat at home. There was some dis-pleasure about the suspension of the free bar being replaced by a voucher system allowing each person 4 free drinks/day. I would estimate this to be equal... More

Hello wickosLeicestershire. The voucher system has got some very positive advantages the main one being able to use the voucher anytime during the day and not just during a 3 hour timeframe. The queues are very much reduced and the bar experience much more relaxed. Thank you for your comments regarding the staff. More
