Disappointed.

Lovely looking Hotel, friendly reception on arrival. Nice room, but had to move rooms in the middle of the night after being bitten by a bedbug, the staff pulled up the carpet the next morning and found more bedbugs lurking but didn't give a fig for my welfare and didn't seem at all concerned with my experience.

Nice room, clean hotel, dogs was no hassle.

We had a nice stay, we brought our dog, in the booking process there was no way of booking for a dog but when we arrived we just said we had a dog and we paid an extra ten pounds so that was fab and no hassle. The room was clean and bright and very spacious, but it was quite warm so sleeping was a little difficult. A fan was provided which was great but the sash window only opened four inches or so, so it was quite hard to get a breeze going, I assume the windows are fixed like this as a safety precaution but maybe a few more inches could help with air flow.

What a gem of a hotel this is. Had a lovely sea view single room that was comfortable and spacious. Bed was lovely and comfortable. It is right by a bus stop and close to all amenities. Three theatres nearby and a short walk to the town and the pier. I can't comment on the dining as didn't eat there and also can't comment on parking as travelled by train. The staff were lovely too,

Really friendly staff, so accomodating and the hotel manager was lovely. Unfortunately there was only one room in the window which had been blocked so that it would only open 5 inches max. It meant our room was unbearably hot and stuffy from lack of ventilation.
