Smelly reception - stale beer smells. Not a good check-in experience. Check-in person couldn't speak without slurring words and smells.The chair is dirty in the room. Bathroom floor tiles broken/missing. Shower door doesn't close to stay shut. Called to complain. Owner said he would sort out the guest. Didn't do this. Don't stay.

Harsh but fair.

Very hard to criticise because you get what you pay for. The negatives have been spoken about a lot on various online sites so I won’t go into much detail but it’s a very dated hotel and the shower room could definitely be refreshed. But the positives are the guys I came across were really friendly and helpful. The young lad just starting his last year at school was really chatty and clearly a grafter. Hotel breakfasts these days are generally very expensive and kept under a heat lamp forever. My breakfast cost 9 quid and was cooked fresh to the order I completed on arrival. You can’t knock that.

The room was good, the staff on arrival swearing about the owner, said don't stay here, then they swore at the owner on departure our car was blocked in, no car registration system as in most hotels, at first no one knew whose car, hotel owner very aggressive, calling us selfish as we had to leave, dropped his laptop looking for info blamed us, it took around an hour for him to remember whose car it was. The hotel had no real system, on arrival he hadn't got a clue which room we were in. By the main entrance outside small car park 4 cars, then some old seats where I think there were staff sat there, the initial reception room dated. The owner was ok while everything was going well, but aggressive when he had to deal with staff or customers. It's a shame as a good location, and room was very good. The hotel needs a system, and I know it's difficult to get good staff but they were weird to be polite.

OK but a bit daunting.

My room was very clean and had all the facilities I expected. It was a quiet and comfortable night’s sleep. However, the general appearance of the hotel was rather rundown and the check-in unconventional, in that there didn’t appear to be a reception desk or any formal check in procedure. This is rather worrying for a female solo traveller, who must always have an eye for security.

Classic English B&B near the sea front and within walking distance of the main tourist area. There are parking spaces at the front of the hotel, but if they're all taken, more are available on the small road right next to it. Very quiet at night, bed was comfy, room was a good size. An older building that could do with some refurbishment and the water pressure in the shower needs improving, but it's all factored into the price.

Whilst it is a little dated in some ways it was a friendly stay, ideal to get to Horse Racing & we did have a nice breakfast. It all depends on your expectations but in these times with costs becoming ridiculous the Gable End was value for money & comfortable if a bit basic on the decor. Basic but not dirty though
