Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was cold, draughty and a summer duvet on the bed meant I needed more layers on than normal to sleep. The shower heads were full of black mould and unusable. And when the neighbouring room shut the door to the room the wall lights flickered on and off repetitivly. The food options were however very good, just a pity the restaurant mood music was battling with the kitchens rapnmusic which just made for an unpleasant dining experience.

Poor standard
All in all this has been a frustrating stay and has left a sour taste in my mouth and not what I expected from The Dunes hotel – a room in a poor state of repair , three times having to ask for shower gel , cleaning staff ignoring the "Please clean my room " sign on my door twice : meaning my room was only cleaned once in 3 days / 4 nights and not replacing tea / coffee supplies. For £90+ a night I expect a basic level of maintenance , cleanliness and at least shower gel and tea and coffee – I did not receive this or a decent level of service from your housekeeping department.

Everything was fine with my stay apart from the service in the restaurant the first night. I was really hungry but had to wait ages for my meal. I can only think that they were under-staffed. It was a shame, because the food was nice enough when it came.

Highly recommended NOT to book here
Sadly the rules do not allow the sharing of a direct experience, which is odd really as that's what you review.... nevertheless this hotel is very much lacking ~ trained competent polite respectful staff including management, any kind of atmosphere, and incredibly lacking in headspace in the 2nd floor rooms where half the ceiling slopes. There is also no lift to the second floor so if you need one and choose to stay here despite the many similar experiences shared, make sure you ask at booking for an appropriate room. Seriously think twice before booking this hotel, it needs a lot of work to improve.

Our stay was quiet and the property clean. We had the fortune to be looked after by Charlette who is a huge talent and benefit to the hotel. Unfortunately the breakfast were quite poor and the scrambled eggs grey and smelly. We also requested a room clean and had the sign out in the door but it want done. Good quiet location but I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

The Dunes is a beautiful hotel in a great location- easy access to beaches and gateway to The Lakes. It’s light, airy and spacious. The grounds are landscaped tropically with a lovely adventure playground for children. The hotel is pet friendly and the staff couldn’t do enough to help us. We are at the restaurant, which accommodated us well as vegans. We loved our short but sweet stay there.

It’s like returning home when we stay at The Dunes. Beautiful hotel with just the friendliest staff and at an affordable price. It’s a Pit stop for us this time, as our main holiday is in Northumberland but usually we would enjoy the little walk down the road to the exquisite national trust currently under threat beach - Roanhead.
