Shore Lodge

  Brilliant host and excellent food! Recommend the Jerk Chicken and the Rasta Pasta. All food cooked perfectly and delicious - we went back twice! Cocktails were also excellent and a... read more great place to spend happy hour.

  So this is all about expectation.
I booked a family room, and got a family room. It's not the Hilton but we did find it reasonably clean and the bathroom... read more is clearly new, bed linen was fresh and clean, so that's the important stuff sorted.
Issues with the room: There's a gap between the door frame and wall that's not been plastered so you can see into the cavity through the slats and this is not good in terms of "finish". There's also clearly been a leak upstairs which has caused damage and staining to the roof but that's aesthetics, the window blind has no pulley so it's a very manual chore to roll it back up in the morning. TV has little or no signal, there were 9 channels, all BBC, available but only 2 worked without static, blur or fading, thank goodness the wifi worked and we had tablets for the kids.
My biggest issue was smokers, on the night we arrived one guest was doing a great Bob marley impression in the car park and on the other nights other guests decided the back fire escape which is right under the bedroom windows was a considerate place to stand and spark up, filling the bedroom with smoke, not ideal for a "family friendly" Lodge, so having to close windows on hot afternoon /evening due to limited controls by lodge in dealing with its inconsiderate patrons in summer was annoying as it was certainly warm and there's no other ventilation or fans.
Breakfast.... I'm pretty sure trade discriptions would raise an eyebrow or two here, its cereal and defrosted out of date bread. No fresh milk it's all uht and the "butter" looks like it's had a few good going overs with dirty knives, god knows how many were licked before being put in there. So simply put, in my view shore surf has no business bragging about breakfast being included, it would be better served, claiming excellent kitchen facilities and bring your own food, because the facilities in the kitchen are very good for self catering options.
In summary, finish off the decorations, carry out the maintenance, put some simple fans in the rooms, get the smokers away from the building and stop advertising breakfast (or improve it dramatically) and it's on to a winner. I obviously paid summer mark up but for what it is worth I don't feel I got value based on the points raised however its a great location a short walk from town and beach. Steph on front desk was really friendly and
helpful so no issues there.

  Lovely hotel with a warm welcoming atmosphere! Had everything we needed and more. The beds were really comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly. Perfect location close to the... read more beach and all at an unbeatable price. Will definitely be returning. Thankyou!

  Excellent food! The food was outstanding I’ve not eaten food in this country as good! 100% recommend their food!
Brilliant selection of rum if you’re a rum drinker this... read more is the place to go! Great hosts very friendly couldn’t do enough for you nothing was too much trouble! Very clean tidy rooms and facilities highly recommend this place!

  We booked the Shore Surf Lodge as a last minute thing when we couldn’t extend our stay at another B&B. I was travelling with my husband, 3 year old... read more and my best friend. Having read the reviews I was ready for something more like a hostel but could see it had been refurbished and was family friendly. This is certainly true but compared to my b&b that cost roughly the same, I don’t think you’re getting good value for money here. We had the penthouse which has a stunning view and had clearly been done up recently. When you walk in you have a double bed- about 6 ft high. Go up some stairs to the main room and you have another double bed that’s about 3.5ft high and a kitchen area- with a hot tub and shower in it. There is a small separate toilet but that is the only place for any privacy. This is not a great room for sharing if you’re not exactly familiar with your roomie! It’s all been done to a high finish and looks lovely but just doesn’t feel right and needs a seating area of something instead of a great big kitchen area. Breakfast was a help yourself to toast or cereal. I expected more for the price. It was mostly clean but needs finishing off. The only member of staff we spoke to was friendly and helpful. This place was fine... We booked the Shore Surf Lodge as a last minute thing when we couldn’t extend our stay at another B&B.

This place was fine for a night but in truth I probably wouldn’t stay there again. More

  We had a lovely stay here in early June, It was our anniversary and they gave us the penthouse with Jacuzzi bath. Fab, quiet yet close to the town. The... read more owners were lovely people. They have a little bar downstairs and parking also.
