The traditional English breakfast was well worth the wait for being cooked to order, probably the best cooked breakfast I've had in years! And a nice selection of buffet items as well. In October the parking wasn't an issue, but I can imagine its more problematic at busy times of year. The building is nearly 200 years old so I can forgive the creaky floorboards, but the bed we had was also very creaky which was a little annoying. Overall it was excellent value for money and I would stay again.

Parking non- existent requiring us to park a 15 minute walk away. We managed . Staff are brilliant. Very helpful and charming . We had an excellent seaview from our room number 211 which was a highlight and great to wake up to . Overall the stay was fine for just overnight but hotel is looking very tired and in need of some loving care. Breakfast was very good and served with a smile .

Liked: Room comfort
Overall the hotel was OK, but a bit dated. Our room was large but cold, beds were comfy. We had a twin room and this was situated at the rear over looking the car park. Furniture was dated but sufficient. The room had the usual complimentary tea and coffee. The worst thing was the bathroom. Cracked ceiling, a rather large dead spider on the floor, radiator caked in dust, the bath panel was cracked and warped with water, the door hinges were rusty. It just needed a complete makeover and clean. We were lucky to park on the street, although there is parking to the rear of the hotel, it was already reserved. Sadly there was no meals being served, but there's plenty of places to eat nearby. I wouldn't advise going out in the car as you may not be able to park when you get back. Hotel is at the top of a hill, and in good position and walking distance for all the local amenities.

Nice hotel with views of the estuary. Fairly quiet given its central location. With-in walking distance of the train station. I had a comfortable and clean room. Pleasant and helpful staff. Wifi was available in the lounge but not my room. There's a decent breakfast for those who want it. Happy to stay there again.

We stayed here for a night on a room only basis. Check in was simple, parking wasn’t an issue but I did have to park in the long stay down near the sea front. Our room was a basic double on the 3rd floor. Turns out we had a sea view which was nice. The room was ok, bathroom very dated but functional. We would stay again.

Friendly stay with s sea view

Our stay started off with a bit of a hiccup, with our room not being ready but the staff were very accommodating and we ended up getting an upgrade with a sea view, this made our stay even better. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Value for money - try and book parking in advance!

Staff very friendly and helpful. One member of staff working when I arrived, working reception and the bar! Bar not overly well stocked. Unable to park anywhere near the hotel had a ten min walk from where I parked. Room on the nicer end of basic, but good value for the price. Hotel in general is nice , great location, needs a lick of paint and some new carpets in places. I would stay again 👍

Adequate breakfast. Comfortable bed. Good view of the coastline. Staff very over worked, some working 16 hour days, others had not taken their days off for 3 weeks. Some improvement seems to have been made cosmetically, but needs much more. Unlikely to happen as the hotel appears to be for sale.
