Hotel with character

Good position as 2 mins from sea front. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and comfy bed. Also nice and quiet. Windows opened easily to get some fresh sea air. Manager helped sort out payment for parking, as online, only the hotel can do this! I would certainly stay here again. Just didn’t like the free water bottles in the rooms, there’s water available from the bedroom sink, we don’t need more plastic! Also lots of little plastic bottles for shampoo etc. It’s very kind but not sustainable, so not kind to our planet! Don’t be afraid to make a stand as a hotel. Simply put a poster up to explain. A tiny block of soap if needed at all would be better. Most hotels are trying to be more sustainable too.

Lovely family run B&B

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station

Unfortunate

There was an awful smell throughout the hotel, like drains or a portaloo. The beds in our room (6) were terribly old and uncomfortable, every time you moved the children woke up as they were so squeaky, the mattresses were discolored and stained. The bathroom was old and in great need of modernization, the shower didn't work, however the maintenance man sorted it out straight away. We were only provided with one towel each. Toiletries and chocolate was a nice touch. However we would not stay here again. Lovely view and position. Not quite sure why this hotel has 8/10 score. (this is why we booked it) Shame as it could be really nice with some updating and new beds.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a car parking space, £6 overnight which was extremely convenient in a private parking lot/garage opposite the hotel. You can also get a parking permit on the road outside for £4 if you're lucky enough to get a space. The room was standard, but big with plenty of space, beds were very comfy and cosy and towels were lovely and soft, it included bathroom and toilet, some rooms don't and are on a separate floor. They offer a continental style breakfast which we didn't try as we were looking to have hot food so we went out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would visit again
