Perfect
10.0Very friendly perfect hosts nothing was too much trouble, the breakfast was exceptional and the swimming pool was perfect thank you will definitely be back soon .
100% recommended
10.0We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The heated pool was a real highlight—it felt like we were on holiday abroad! Being able to buy drinks by the pool at very reasonable prices was an added bonus. The location was excellent, with both the beach and the town centre just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the local area. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money. We would 100% recommend it and will definitely be returning in the future!
− No complaints!
Loved our stay at The Purple Tree and will definitely be coming back!
8.0We loved Ian! He was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was ever too much trouble and he made us feel so welcome. Also loved the pool!
− Only thing was that the room was unbelievably hot, but Ian provided a fan and there’s not much else he could have done without installing air con!!
Good location, lovely staff, nice stay
8.0Staff were amazing - really lovely people who take customer service the extra mile. Nice to have the outdoor pool & hot tub facility. Rooms clean & tidy, smart TV Netflix etc. good stay.
A friendly home from home

Misleading advertisement, an unhelpful host, no meaningful support, and a holiday ruined to the point I had to leave ear
1.0Unfortunately, nothing. The property did not meet the expectations created by the advertisement, and the entire experience was disappointing from start to finish.
− The property was advertised in a misleading way. I booked expecting to use the hot tub, only to be told on arrival that I had to pay an additional fee which was not clearly disclosed when I made the booking. After I complained, the listing was changed. The host was rude, dismissive and completely unwilling to resolve the issue. Rather than helping, she made the situation even more stressful and ruined my holiday. The property itself did not meet the expectations created by the listing, the location was poor, and it was extremely poor value for money. The experience became so unacceptable that I felt I had no choice but to leave two days early and pay for another hotel so that I could continue my holiday elsewhere. As a result, I lost over £300, and Booking.com only processed a £49 refund from the hotel. I have now been forced to pursue the remaining money through a PayPal dispute because neither the host nor Booking.com provided a satisfactory resolution. I would strongly advise anyone considering this property to be extremely cautious and to take screenshots of the listing before booking. Based on my experience, I would never stay here again and cannot recommend it to anyone.
