This is a great hotel in a good location. Very clean & in good condition. Excellent value for money & the staff are great.
Only stayed one night en route west. Very comfy room (small single but perfectly adequate). Very nice shower. Free on road parking after 7pm, very convenient for shops, take-aways etc. Would definitely stay again
Wonderful stay. Met with a very kind and informative greeting. Rooms clean, comfortable and spacious. Lovely choice at breakfast, both cooked and continental. Choice of breads for toast!!!!
Hotel is very central to the town centre, beach and Pavillion, perfect situation.

The chap behind reception was very welcoming and informative. The bed was super comfy and the huge tv was a bonus! Really quiet room so we slept really well. Generally a really good stay. Only issues we had were the toilet brush was filthy with dirty water at the bottom of the brush and the carpet in the room desperately needs a clean there were coffee spills and marks all over it, but In all a really good stay we will come back. No issues with parking either :)
Was a very nice stay could of done with a extra pillow each but we never got back to the room till late so couldn’t ask but I know it would off been dealt with such a beautiful clean little hotel and location with everything local will definitely be staying again soon
This is a lovely quaint hotel, the staff are very friendly and attentive and the hotel was clean and friendly. It had a nice atmosphere and felt very welcoming, the breakfast was good in the morning and the bar and outside patio area are nice touches.

Slightly daunting check in process with a list of extra costs for everything including coming in late, parking and losing your key. However the room was clean and tidy, the breakfast smelt lovely though we did not book for breakfast. There was a bar there but it was unmanned and you had to request drinks

Good for the price we paid however no air conditioning in room ( we had room on top floor) and lack of fan during the summer made for a very hot room was difficult to sleep

Good overall
We had a slight problem when we arrived but the receptionist couldn't have been more helpful and sorted it out. Family room was not big but clean, plenty of storage and beds comfy.
Unfortunately the cooked breakfast was not good. Everything was over cooked and dry and(in my opinion) seemed warmed up after being cooked a long time previous. However there was plenty of toast and cereal!
Location was great too. 10 mins walk to beach and town centre

It’s okay
Our room was a standard room which was on the small side. The bathroom was clean but the room carpet was stained probably from tea and coffee.
Unfortunately when we stayed there was building work happening on the establishment next door and each morning we were woken by the builders arriving, speaking loudly to each other and also swearing.we were not informed of this before we turned up! On our first night we were kept awake by the people in the room underneath.
The breakfast was very nice, the staff we met were friendly
We were told it was £10 to park in the car park for the duration of our stay which we paid. Unfortunately this is not guarantee you a space. It is a first come first served basis, so for the second night we had to park on a street around the corner. Overall we had an okay stay but not sure if we would stay there again
Unfortunately our room was affected by water pressure problems, this meant on the morning of departure I was stuck in the shower for 10 minutes covered in soap with no water supply as it cut out half way through. When it eventually returned it was cold. I contacted the hotel afterwards and they said this was because of water use in the street and it was out of their control...just keep this in mind therefore before booking. Overall we found our stay poor value for money.
The room was spotless and get full English breakfast and only problem is wasn't enough parking space

Smelly reception (lingering/ancient deep fried food smell); no free parking availble altough guaranteed on our booking (restricted availability was listed in the 'small prints' notes on booking.com but not on the hotel.com site that we used - we had to pay 10 £ for one night in a nearby parking space) and reverberating (not so good) live music from a loudy private party playing until at least 23:00 (not terribly late but we were tired). I'm glad ours was a deluxe double room (if it was) - I do not think we would have fit into a regular one. Scant amenities. One towel per person: I realize this is an English touristy hotels feature, but inconvenient. We were kindly given ONE extra towel upon request. Sad continental buffet breakfast, but eggs very well done to order (we weren't very hungry, so we didn't go for traditional breakfast).
