We enjoyed the breakfast time, since the lady called Linsy made us feel at home. She is very warm and considerate. Before we arrived at the hotel their staff answered my phone call, but the 2nd day while we stayed there, nobody answered my phone call, though I called 3 times, which was a bit upset.

Our room had an unpleasant odour, probably coming from the carpet. The hotel needs updating, and beds need to be replaced with comfortable ones. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good. Location and parking is very good.

Liked: Cleanliness
Inside looked well maintained and clean but bench seats in bar very uncomfortable, window didn’t shut in bedroom, toilet seat was broken, scalding hot water so burnt myself as water pressure varied on top floor. Floor had recesses in so not level and frightened would put foot through floor, breakfast was nice but avoid black pudding it was overcooked to the extent it was a crisp. Receptionist was just about pleasant as well as the barman didn’t want to speak to you other than bare minimum.

Room was very dusty. There were cobwebs in various places. The room could’ve done with a lick of paint and modernised. The staff were pleasant and the communal areas had some charm, but again, could do with a bit of touching up. I didn’t mind the hotel because it gave me nostalgia to a bygone era, but to somebody looking for a modern hotel, this is not for them.

Lovely old hotel

This hotel has a fantastic chef who prepares meals to perfection. The hotel is conveniently situated to the beach. Also good for exploring the peninsular. Old fashioned but quaint and I would recommend staying here. Easy parking. Friendly staff.

Moderate

Food options were very poor for me being allergic to eggs and anything hot-spicey. The evening meals we had on our 2 day stay were excellent, tasty and well cooked. Breakfast left a bit to be desired. Poor choice of cereals and very little choice for people who don't like the "full english" option. However our room was nice, spacious and comfortable bed.
