Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room had a remarkable shower in the adjoining bathroom area, the bed was incredibly comfortable with great pillows, and the views were stunning. The service went above and beyond to accommodate my wheelchair-bound mum. The location, although on rather steep hills, offered easy access to the beach and a nearby cafe with classic Motown music. The dining experience, which was included and featured regional products, was delightful. The facility was top-notch with all the amenities you could need.
The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking picturesque Goodrington Sands, offering a great view and close proximity to the park and seafront. The rooms are cozy and boast a remarkable shower in the adjoining bathroom area, but Summerhill's steep hills may not be to everyone's liking. The service was exceptionally accommodating, going out of their way to make my wheelchair-bound mum feel welcomed. While the cream cheese at dining was a tasty inclusion, there were some steep hills to navigate. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is situated on rather steep hills, not ideal for everyone, but offers a unique location by the sea. The service was exceptional and went above and beyond to accommodate my wheelchair-bound mum. The dining experience was creative with some delightful salad options. The rooms had a great view and a remarkable shower, making for a comfortable stay.
