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.

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.

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.

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.
