I have just returned from a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the Ocean Hotel. This is a good quality mid-range hotel, catering for coach parties (which means that many residents are elderly) as well as independent travellers (who are likely to be younger but were in the minority when I was there). The food is good, service is friendly... More

Had 4 nights Dinner Bed & Breakfast at this hotel. It has a lot going for it, but some things not so good. Firstly this hotel is full of older people ( my wife & I are old and would sympathise with any younger people who happened to book in) . Mostly coach parties when we were there. It is... More

We should perhaps have guessed when we joined the coach at Glasgow ahead of our long journey South. The majority of the party were over 70 years old and a significant proportion walked with the aid of sticks. Our initial tentative view was confirmed on arrival at the hotel. The average age of guests must have been well over 70.... More

Upon arrival at the hotel, staff and room were all very welcoming and impressive. Great value for money there. However, this was spoilt by two major drawbacks that will prevent us form staying again. Firstly, the hotel is locked down early at night. Gaining access after hours is a slow and laborious task. We had to call the night porter,... More

Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff on our visit.This hotel is now basic but must have been very splendid and expensive. We had a gorgeous sea view from our room.We were lucky enough to be upgraded as hubby was 70! The room was spotless. It was great to open the curtains and look out.The gardens are... More

Obviously once an opulent hotel, which has now slid gently into a comfortable decline. The basic no-frills, yet spotlessly clean guest rooms are redeemed by an opulent and sensitively decorated bar and restaurant area. The Ocean Hotel earns my five stars through the hard work and faultless, caring customer service of its exemplary staff. As an added bonus the enjoyable... More

Lovely hotel, right on the sea front. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely Restaurant with excellent choice of menus and the food is delicious. The bar area had lovely real fires which were needed as it is very open and can be a bit draughty, though I would imagine it is lovely in the summer - very light and airy. Reasonable... More

Stayed 5th-9th Nov - part of a coach party for a Turkey and Tinsel holiday. Food, rooms and service was excellent. We had a good choice on the dinner menu and at breakfast. Food was very good but I was especially impressed with the speed and quality of service. All waiting, bar, reception and cleaning staff I encountered were very... More
