It's true, this property is an older one but that's the reason we booked it, historical. There are on lifts, no air con but the location, the staff and the view from the top room were amazing. Shannon, Roy - the entire team was helpful and approachable. We stayed on two separate occasions in the same vacation and will be back again for sure. Bathrooms were clean and water pressure amazing for an old building. The new renovations for the top floor room was incredible - 360 degree views.

Absolutely great stay thanks to all the staff I met during my stay - lovely place. Beautiful garden, well appointed location for access to the seafront and the local attractions. My room had everything I needed for a cosy and comfortable night, the shower was easy to operate, warm with good water pressure. The Seaview was a bonus too! Wifi signal was strong, parking was free. 10/10

The room was beautiful and spotless and the staff were lovely and helpful. It was also very useful to have free parking! The hotel itself could have done with a hoover but I think it was going through some renovations so it's understandable that it wasn't the tidiest!

No room clean for the 4 days we stayed, musty smell when we arrived ,change of towels only when requested , small bins which filled and wasn't emptied .staff was friendly and helpful but wasn't happy when they would shut the bar early so I drank in a local pub instead for the remainder of my stay.

Room, bathroom and bedding were very clean. Room had lovely sea views as it was on the 4th floor. There are no lifts so the hotel might not be suitable for the elderly or disabled. The TV didn't work in our room, we were offered a different room but we refused. We were, however, able to watch TV in an unoccupied room. The staff were friendly but quite often nowhere to be seen. It says on the Expedia website that breakfast is available, but breakfast was never advertised so we ate out. The car park was very small, but the hotel wasn't busy so we had no trouble parking but at busy times it might be a problem. The area where it is located is about a 10 minute walk away from the seafront and uphill, so could be challenging with poor mobility
