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 !

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.

Room was spotlessly clean and had a fabulous ocean view. There is traffic in front of the hotel so beware when booking if you are a light sleeper. There are rooms that do not face the street. Hotel does provide ear plugs and we slept just fine. Restaurant on site served great breakfast. Only suggestion I would make in the room we had (room 4) would be to see about switching the tv and stand with the dresser and mirror as when you lie in bed the tv was on the left as opposed to straight ahead which made it difficult to view. Also the mirrors in the room need to be raised so that everyone can use them. If you hung the mirror over the dresser longways then it would solve the problem. Just some thoughts. Thanks

Ok accommodation.

Room was ok, very hot and fan was very noisy. Also very loud seagulls early in the morning. The breakfast was included as would not have paid for the breakfast as the sausage was very anemic looking, mushrooms hardly cooked only best part was the hash brown. Otherwise very friendly staff and lovely looking views from the ballroom, was a shame the stained glass ceiling was covered up. Room wallpaper had seen better days as peeling a bit on the right side of the wall after the big dresser.

There is no parking for the hotel. There are some restricted bays for overnight directly outside and a little walk away some free spaces. You can only check in from 2-5.30pm and there is no one on site after that. It would have been helpful to know this before booking. The hotel has an interesting history as a bank and the bathroom was originally a walk in safe. The decor is basic, but clean. The breakfast was unpleasant - dried out and reheated food. Nothing was particularly fresh - all stale. This isn’t a typical B&B or hotel and it was a really odd experience.

You get what you pay for

This is one of those places where you yet what you pay for. PROS: *The location of the peoperty - beach front close to public transport, and is on the main street *The staff are very welcoming *They offered to clean the room *You get 20% off on breakfast downstairs, and the food isn't terrible. CONS: *We reserved a room to accomodate 3. As it turns out, a room for 3 means you'll get 2 separate rooms with 1 single and a double/queen. To be fair, our family is the only one in that wing but we would've preferred to sleep all in one room as expected. *Whilst I believe that the staff did their best to clean, the pillow cases, duvet, and bed sheet has traces of make up. It might be that the bleach isnt stront enough to remove make up stains, or perhaps the staff's make up touched the covers whilst doing the bed, but when you see make up traces, it makes you question whether they've replaced the sheets after every guest. *Lastly, I think that the bed are quite springy. As I said, I think that you do get what you pay for; but the saving grace of this property is the staff and location.
