Nice room, felt safe and cozy with everything I needed to hand. The breakfast was delicious and very reasonably priced - service was slightly chaotic but I found it endearing. Just leave plenty of time. Great location as an easy walk to the sea front and shops etc. Would def stay again.

Well situated

Hotel is well situated close to the beach. We stayed at the end of the summer and so the seasons wear and tear starting to show. Paid for breakfast but was notified that “speciality coffee” (from a machine) would be an extra charge which was surprising. Staff were friendly and attentive

Pleasant

Pleasant stay at the top of the house on one of the coldest days of the year so it was a little cold at times but soon cured by the provision of an electric fire.

Good Hotel!

There were no issues with our stay. We had a nice bedroom, bathroom and lovely breakfasts! The only issue we had was that we arrived at the hotel about 2.00pm but were told check-in was 3.00pm. I know from a previous call that our room was not being used the night before so why not allow guests in a little earlier!
