Short stay
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.

Room comfortable and well furnished. Didn’t like the rather heavy duvet - like trying to sleep under a rug. Good cooked breakfast: hard-working staff run off their feet so waiting inevitable. They were helpful and welcoming.

Hotel needs some attention
The staff we dealt with were all lovely, but the building itself is tired and run down. Our bathroom was particularly grim - grouting gone brown, and awful bath grips that were not only horribly stained but very painful to sit on!

Excellent value and great location. Do not opt out of the breakfast. It is fantastic and you’ll pay more and get less trying to find something as good outside

Second stay at this hotel. Staff were all very nice. Public areas of the hotel were really nice but thought the room looked a little tired. Nice bar and the Brasserie looked nice although we didn’t have dinner there. The breakfast though was good. Right on the sea front, pubs nearby, short walk to the high street with some nice shops, cafes and eateries.

I'd have liked a grab rail on the wall of the shower/bath since as an old person fear of falling is a constant worry.

Nice room, very clean but on the smaller end on size of room.
Early morning noise of beer barrels being delivered or returned was a nuisance.
Didn’t eat evening meals here as vegetarian options on the menu we saw were minimal. Overall, I would recommend but select a sea view rather than the town view.

Hotel was just what we needed for a mini break between Christmas and New Year. Lovely quiet hotel, clean, friendly and welcoming staff. Food in The Brasserie restaurant was excellent including the breakfast. It was lovely to order breakfast at the table rather than buffet style. We will definitely revisit.
