We stayed here for the start of our coast to coast walk. Probably been a lovely building in the past, but currently in need of repairs. It’s situated on a busy roundabout, but close to the beach which is down a steep hill. Friendly lady on reception. Rooms were adequate in size, and we all slept well in the beds.. however one of the rooms had a drain smell which was awful. We had a blue light under the sink unit in the bathroom which needed switching off as it constantly flashed on/off. No plug sockets at side of bed, however found 2 in the open wardrobe unit. Rooms were clean as was bedding.
The rear of the building is disgusting, weeds and rubbish everywhere. Breakfast was offered as small or large, by a friendly member of staff. The full English was ok, but the rest of us had scrambled eggs on toast which was tasteless and the toast was more of a soggy bread. The eggs were the palest eggs I have ever seen, no evidence of a yolk!
The noise from the bar downstairs was as you would expect and from the smokers at the back of the building too, but this quieter after 11pm. There was a party in the function room on the same floor as the bedrooms which you could hear constantly.
Overall I wouldn’t recommend staying here. It’s more expensive than a travel lodge etc at £50.00 per room then extra for breakfast. The place needs some attention and if it did, it could be a great place to stay!!
