The property is ideally situated on the seafront, a short distance from railway station. The room we had was beautifully decorated and equipped, with a good en- suit shower room. Excellent view of the sea. The only slight negative, was there was quite a lot of noise from the road outside, however this wouldn't put me off staying again !

Plesant Stay!

A plesant stay in a good location next to the sea. Very clean and well looked after. Didn't bother us but the shower was in the room but a room divider offered some modesty!

The hotel was lovely. The room was very clean and on the sea front. The only issue we had was the bed was terrible, spring were noisy every time you moved an inch!! Such a shame as we got no sleep at all. We didn't mind the noise outside but the bed made the night so long and un comfortable.

Great value

Lovely room, boutique feel. Bed was huge and some great original features of the room retained and good location. Warm welcome on arrival. The downside was after booking i found that we had to check in by 530pm and there was no one on site after this time. Wouldn't put me off booking again though

Nice place but bad mattress and not top service...

The general vibe of the hotel is nice and it's very well located on the sea front but the mattress was really bad. One side of it was jingling when we moved and it was so soft and unsupportive that we both woke with sciatic pains. There was also quite a heavy leak in the shower, which is located in the main room rather than the bathroom, which we weren't informed about before our stay. This meant that some of our clothes got drenched and we spent every morning having to soak up the leaky area with bathmats. This may not have been so bad if staff had let us know first and checked in on the issue but we had to go and request more towels and then they told us they'd known about the problem but that it was due to be fixed after we left. Parking is an issue too, which could really be listed on the website/booking pages.

As expected

For the price we paid we didn't expect much to be honest. And at around £77 per night for a room with sea views we got an ok shower (warm water, poor water pressure) a large bed (mattress has seen a few years) and sparse furniture which suited us fine. It was very windy which meant we had quite the draft from the single pane windows however there wasn't a lot of traffic coming through. Service was ok, not friendly, not unfriendly. Breakfast simple, coffee overpriced.

The rooms were pleasant, great features having a bathroom in a former bank vault, however the mattress was poor as you could hear and feel the springs when you moved, and the bathroom extractor fan dropped dust. The breakfast in the bistro was fabulous and service was great. It was excellent value all in all.

Bright and spacious with aea view

Seafront location on busy road, so some people will prefer rear rooms. Bright and spacious room (4) with decent shower etc and a table and chairs. Parking is a challenge, but ok durng check-in period. Ideal for our short break.

Perfect for us, right on the water. A bit hot/stuffy (due to surrounding rooms radiators) but easily fixed by opening windows to get fresh sea breeze. Def would stay again, lady down stairs was helpful & their breakfast menu is amazing!!

Disliked: Room comfort

Just Dont

The room came with ear plugs - because its incredibly noisey and should seriously come with a warning. This caused very bad night of intermittent sleep. As well as this they were unable to accomodate either early check-in or to take 2 bags for a couple of hours prior to check-in, or to offer a half hour later check-out. So basically the room do not offer the most essential experience of a good nights sleep.
