Perfect location on the seafront, close to shops, pubs and excellent restaurants. Rooms were clean and staff were efficient. The exterior of the hotel could do with a spruce up but interior was fine. Would definitely come again.
Very satisfied with the hotel, clean room and well equipped. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A very relaxing and comfortable environment, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to a return visit.
Perfect stay ! Staff most helpful; food excellent; room was clean, tidy and comfortable; sea view superb especially with a "super wolf moon" at night and a colourful sunrise each morning.

Everything nice & cosy, with well prepared food & super staff - especially Dace & Jack
Room fine a really nice big comfortable bed and pillows. Nice touch to have a bottle of still water in the room.
The bathroom was okay, good shower but decor a bit worn
Breakfast very good with a nice selection and quality product and service.
Parking very limited though.
The room was quite warm and the door was sticking on opening and couldn’t be closed without slamming. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.
The room was comfortable and the breakfast excellent

Good size room in unique location. facilities a bit tired but everything works
Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

Nicer on the inside than the outside. Just across the street from the beach. The room, and bathroom are on the small side, but clean and fresh. Good breakfast included and free parking.
Excellent hotel. Friendly efficient and the hotel is clean and quiet.
Had dinner here last night and the food is first class, fresh and tasty.
Highly recommended

Very friendly and helpful staff and food and conditions were excellent.
Fantastic seafront location, the hotel is a slight maze of stairs and corridors, but there is a lift. Our room was a good size, comfortable, quiet and very clean. Good restaurant and bar with friendly staff. We will return.
