    • The staff, location and cleanliness by
    • The location was good and the staff were very helpful
    • Traditional hotel right on the sea front. Clean and comfortable.

    Cons -

    • WE felt the facilities were not great and the cost of the room was a bit over priced
    • The breakfast was a bit overly formal - you had to order and be given everything - a small piece of melon on a plate, an omlette that didn’t taste of anything. It felt like they were trying to create a fine dining experience but could have done better with self-service.
    • Didn't get room I booked ..nightmare through booking com.no excuse I laid for big seaview room..they didn't give me had tiny window 3rd floor room rubbish seaview

    Fantastic location, warm and friendly rooms good size & well appointed. Staff attentive & friendly.Bathroom very modern.Breakfast was superb and beautifully served too.

    Shower not very powerful.Door closed at 10:30pm which was a tad early esp given time of year for Xmas celebrations. Also door bell to alert night porter seemed not to be working either so had to phone & was eventually let in. Not the staffs fault, they were extremely friendly.

    3SimonPosted on: 12-3-2025

    The location was great

    The WiFi was non-existent, I was hoping to stay another night but had to check in at another nearby hotel so that I could get WiFi

    Food was excellentstaff very helpfulI felt safe being on my own

    Being rushed to eatCarpets not being cleaned to the skirting boardsLounge chairs not that comfortable

    8Simply_debPosted on: 11-19-2025

    The room was adequate for one night and the bed soft and comfortable. The staff were excellent and accommodating (I visited a friend and came back late but someone was waiting for my return to park my car). It's location was excellent - on the seafront and around the corner to the high street. The breakfast was lovely and I could have had as much toast as I wanted.

    I had to pay £10 for 1 nights parking.

    8MarionPosted on: 11-18-2025

    Well situated on sea front. Very traditional decor especially in room. Exceptionally clean.

    9KennethPosted on: 11-12-2025

    Staff very professional and, above all intelligent and polite. They worked well as a team and clearly had their 'eye on the ball'.

    7LindaPosted on: 11-3-2025

    I had a single room, and it was a decent size, and good size bathroom. It's a great location, heating was on - and was able to turn radiator if room was too hot. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Rooms are old fashioned - but perhaps that is part of the charm! Room was still very comfortable.

    10LockyerPosted on: 11-3-2025
