Excellent value hotel, good food friendly staff. Marc Snow compere is the real reason we visit this particular hotel. He interacts with his audience in such a friendly relaxed manner.
Overall can't fault the Burlington, you certainly get what you pay for.
We try to visit 2 or 3 times a year, it never disappoints.
We'll be back soon.

Arrival/check-in:- Arrived with friends for the 3 Night New Years Break deal.
Pre-paid Carparking simple, check-in smooth, Standard Room clean but very basic & very dated. Only 1 antiquated lift for 4+ floors & a hotel full of OAP's.

Entertainment:- Function room does not lend itself for more than 30-40 people, other than that your sat in separate areas listening via a crackly speaker. Marky Mark the compare was jolly & amusing. One big issue we found was one "management" favoured regular family were allowed to reserve sitting in the Function Room? (don't give the excuse that one was disabled, because we noted that he walked when it suited him & there were plenty of other people with mobility issue's), everybody else it was a Texas Scramble to get thorough dinner ASAP or else you were sitting away from the "Entertainment", we never managed it. You were lucky if you could any seats.

The other big issue is being told sssssssh when ever they were playing Bingo, if the venue doesn't lend itself to this type entertainment why bother. The 1st night Cabaret Showtime vocalist was mediocre, New Years Eve night entertainment Pianist/singer I believe Ray Campbell, was alot better, The Piper was good but 2 hours too early. New Years Day "Show Time" with Comedian Ray Campbell was two fold rubbish, firstly because we couldn't hear clearly from sitting in the corridor / bar & secondly because he wasn't funny.

Meals:- evening meals were quite drawn out, with the few waiting staff run ragged, food was passable but nothing special. Breakfasts Buffet(s) had plenty of choice, but the hot food was piled up to high in the Baymarie's that most of it was luke warm.

Staff:- in general were really good very helpful & chatty.

Summary:- Value for money - doubtful, stay again, - no. If this is Shearing's standard won't be bothering in future.

Staff are friendly, food could be better

Lively staff and food xxx

Paid for premium upgrade on room had undergone refurbishment, very nice
Breakfast excellent. Entertainment took a while each evening to get going,resident host very good.

Stayed in a huge comfy room with a sea view - nicely decorated with local art on the walls and great views. I was a bit worried when we walked in to reception as it felt very dated but the rooms are more modern than the public areas!

Need updated and food basic. But clean

Good value hotel

Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble, rooms clean and all despite recent fire next door. Porter staff, Callum treated luggage with respect and Mark/evening entertainment very good. Coach driver very knowledgeable making holiday even more enjoyable. All this after adjacent fire and it being their first week open. My cousin and I have thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay through Shearings
