Lovely Seaside Hotel
The room was plush. Admittedly not geared up for heavy tea drinkers but still had all the amenities we could wish for. Dinner menu is a little limited but not expensive. Breakfast was enjoyable even though the beans had been microwaved on the plate. All said and done would happily stay there again.

The most comfy bed I’ve had in a hotel in years. Got the room with sea view, lovely view in the morning. Shower pressure was great, clean room and great night of sleep. Lift bit small but not the end of the world.
We were unable to sleep as our bedroom was next door to the loft and we could hear very loudly every time someone used the lift and when the door was open and closed it was a very loud bang snd then children I think of someone was running up and down the corridors do we ended up giving our room key to the cleaner downstairs and leaving at 2am. Very disappointed as it was my partners 40th birthday and we had booked for 2 nights so lost money and I’ve emailed the hotel and no response back

Nice helpful staff in all sections. Bit cramped in upstairs corridors and a more comfy bed would have been nice. They are doing their best in an old building.

Great location.
Only downfall was the noisy door lift with quest used in going up to their rooms.
Lift door could use some re fitting a noise reducing mechanism.

8 Houses cobbled together - and it shows!
There are 2 lifts. One, which stops at the 2rd floor, from where you have to navigate a labyrinth of very narrow passageways to a very narrow flight of stairs to the 3rd floor. Not good if you have mobility problems.
The other lift was described by my 10 year old grandson as a "vertical coffin" which may be a slight exaggeration, but not much. Not good for those suffering from claustrophobia.
The décor is somewhat dated and in need of a facelift. The food is adequate and typically English.
Would I book in here again. Most likely not.

Good hotel and location
Had a good week stay at this hotel. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable.
We had a premier first floor room which has a great view on the beach and sea with doors that open out - no balcony. The only issue with these rooms is that the outside bar/seating area is just below and the bar stays open till 12pm. So if you are a light and early sleeper, these might not be for you.
We only had breakfast which has a selection of hot and cold.
This is a dog friendly hotel. During our stay there was a number of owners with dogs which are allowed in the restaurant and bar area. They are also allowed to stay in the rooms, which is not clear from the web site.
All in all, a good hotel and location. Every day yor bed is made and towels changed.

Good value for money. Great position. All the major areas of use clean and welcoming. Staff very friendly and attentive.
Some of the areas of the hotel such as the corridors, stairs and lifts are in need of an update.

My honest feedback
Overall the stay was good.
There is no air-con in the hotel, so if you have a room with a sea view and when you open the windows it’s very loud.
The cleaning ladies were excellent.
Hotel’s staff was really good and very helpful.
One huge disadvantage - avoid hotel’s restaurant as much as possible. The service (especially if you sit outside) is very very VERY slow. And even if you managed to order your food (asked for sparkling water without ice and tea with slice of lemon) they are going to bring you something completely different - water WITH ice and tea with MILK ahaha
