Lovely hotel with lovely staff in a lovely place.
A lovely hotel in a great location, near the beach and seafront, as well as a stone's throw from the railway station. Great service from friendly, attentive and caring staff. Highly recommended, and will look forward to a return visit at some point.

Had a weekend break, great service- nice room although slightly dated, very clean. Good breakfast. Bar and snacks good value. Only slight negative ordered a tuna sandwich and the bread was literally cut two inches thick, amazing value but so difficult to eat and wasteful. Our only negative, loved the stay.

Not what you see in the pictures
Corridors are mould ridden and damp, water dripping from calling into cream tubes. Room old, dated and dirty.
