Amazing room. Like a suite with a separate sitting room. Sea and downland views from the bedroom and sea view from sitting room. Spotless rooms and bathroom. Lashings of hot water. Super quiet too. I eat in the conservatory in the evening and the menu was very varied. Everything I had was cooked perfectly. The breakfast offered excellent choice on the cold front, but i did not try, cold meats, cereals, yoghurt, fruit juices, fruit salad, grapefruit. It was limited on the cooked front and I had the full English. I would have liked to have seen Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale as like these when away, but this is a suggestion for improvement. For the price I paid I was very satisfied. The staff were lovely and very attentive. Thank you.

Comfortable, old fashioned, nice pool.

Great food. Lovely staff (need to grab their attention if you need anything). Single bed is small. I'd suggest a larger single for comfort. Bit of a wait for breakfast ordering and takes a while to come out (I was there on business and needed to allow more time).
