“The staff were delightful and could not have been more welcoming. We and our two Bearded Collies had a relaxing stay. We would not, however, describe it as a luxury hotel, being more geared up for people working in the area than for holidays. It's almost there, but not quite. The room was too hot but suffered from farmyard smells and road noise if we opened the window.. there was no special provision for our dogs (no bowls, beds, towels, treats..) . There is a great dog walking field and dog waste bins provided, but will be better if eventually fenced in. No shelf for toiletries in the shower and couldn't lower shower head. A few electrical appliance didn't work - shaver light and wonky light by bed. There was no fridge even in an "executive" room. lWe were alarmed to find a hairdryer with missing switch and exposed wiring (replaced immediately on request). The landfill across the road was sometimes smelly, there were also farmyard (pig?) odours, room was hot but we couldn't open the window because of these smells. The dunes and beach were lovely but further away, down a narrow lane, than the publicity suggested, not an easy walk. All in all disappointing for a "luxury" hotel but still enjoyable.”

“The hotel is lovely we liked the quiet location very nice for a walk in the country side with the dog .our problem was on the first night we waited about one hour for our dinner. on day two and three some of the breakfast food was cold we're told the hot plate keeps tripping .and at dinner time on day three there was three meals missing from the menu which was bad because on the first day we were told the hotel was busy all week”

Would you like to add any more feedback about your stay? Very good value and the package we had through Pets Pyjamas was first class.

“Hotel was out of the way, which we knew and that suited us. Welcome at reception was great and the young man on reception during the day was very friendly and helpful. The room was quite large and clean. Bathroom looked newly done but no toilet roll holder. Food was good once it arrived. Staff in bar had to multitask but they coped very well. Dogs were spoilt by everyone.”

“Hotel is very nice, beautiful beach very close by. Staff were all lovely, very friendly and welcoming. Location is good if you don’t mind a drive but not really suitable for walking to/from the hotel.”

Would you like to add any more feedback about your stay? Unfortunately I think over all the accommodation could do with a bit of a refresh not as good as first visit Unfortunately

“This is our 2nd visit to the Dunes Hotel, sorry to say this time was a bit of a let down and we were dissapointed. There was no toy, treat or bed in the room this time for our toy poodle like the 1st time. Food was not as good and worth the money. Bins not emptied in our room or tea cups washed during our stay until we complained or toilet rolls replenished. Exterior looking a little run down weeds growing everywhere...unfortunately such a shame, however staff very friend towards our dog and us .”

“Could be a fantastic hotel but a few things let it down. The "Executive"room we were given which was for guests with dogs was looking a bit tired especially the bathroom also we had to ask for the pet bed which was supposed to be supplied. All the staff were lovely but felt the hotel was understaffed especially in the restaurant as we had unacceptable waiting times for our evening meals, the food when it came was good. We had to ask for our free cocktail as it was never offered also the person on the front desk knew nothing about the free pack of Caboodle dog food we were supposed to receive on checkout as part of our Barking Britain package!!! Also the beach is more like a half hour walk away and you would be better driving to it as once there it's lovely.”
