Really well-located property. Check-in is in the busy pub next door which made the process chaotic. Neither room was ready at 2pm and we waited over 30 mins for access. The rooms were clean, had tv and tea/coffee facilities. One room even had a fridge-freezer. The beds were comfy. I don’t think we could have done better for the price. It was ideally placed for the “On the Beach” concerts (although our delayed check-in risked late fee for post-3pm arrival).

You need to get the keys from the pub next door, I don’t think I saw any staff in the hotel It’s noisy when people are coming into the hotel at night, so not the most restful night sleep, but well priced if you just need somewhere to sleep after a night out

We loved the massive room! Bed was a four poster double bed and the pillows very comfy. Bathroom was recently renovated and featured a jacuzzi bathtub. We only used the shower but the water pressure was great and towels were clean. Property offers 24h on street parking for £10 - need to go to the nearby pub to get your ticket to display in the car. Easy check in and check out.the only downside is that the local pub is also very noisy and I could only fall asleep close to midnight (thankfully my partner and child are good sleepers and went to bed 8:30pm) Would stay again if they make the room more soundproof. Close to beach and amenities

Excellent location, a short walk into town and some excellent cafes and restaurants nearby. Comfortable bed and spacious room, everything clean. Owners very friendly and helpful when we booked in. We were able to purchase a parking permit cheaply and, although parking tricky,we managed to find a space a short distance away. At time of visit there was only one towel hanger; some extra hooks and a shelf for washbags etc would be useful! Overall a very enjoyable stay!
