Great dog friendly hotel

Very warm and welcoming host, upgraded us to the garden room which was great for us with our dog. Rooms and bed very comfortable and clean, and lovely and quiet at night. We went for the airshow and it’s really conveniently located for this, being just 10/15 minutes walk away. Would definitely recommend including breakfast as very good value and took the hassle out of having to find somewhere to eat first thing.

A relaxed and comfortable stay

Just what we needed after a long day in the car. A friendly welcome, a clean and well appointed room and a welcome pack for ourselves and the dog. There is a lovely, enclosed garden to the rear of the hotel and off street parking at the front. The beach is a 15 minute walk away and you can reach it via tree lined streets. We stayed in the garden room, with direct access to the garden, which was ideal for dog owners.

Super dog friendly hotel run by the lovely Lucy. Great size room with more than enough space for me, my friend and my dog (lab sized). I would recommend the breakfast as well as a walk to the beach
Gift box
My dog was very pleased with his gift box! Although a bit naughty jumping on the bed!
