Very Quaint

A lovely warm welcome from Cathy room basic and dated but there are plans to update the whole hotel to bring it into line with what people expect but I really hope they stay true to the legacy Cathy and her husband have taken 38 years to build. Nostalgic is the best word I can use took me back to my childhood and my Nans B& B days in Southend. Great beach for the family and a Wetherspoon just a few minutes walk if you need a hot basic dinner but try Millys at the harbour for a more traditional seaside feed up

Basic, Value for Money Bed and Breakfast Accommodation This is a very good basic, value for money B&B yet it is not a hotel as advertised as amongst other missing hotel amenities it does not have a bar or restaurant serving anything other than breakfast. On my stay, on a cold autumn night, the heating was not turned on until the early morning, and the bedding was damp and cold with the feeling that they had just come out of the washing machine and I could not connect the Wi-Fi. I will not forget the truly warm welcome and the hospitality from the team.
