Parking is free and unlimited and opposite the hotel.. unusual in that the hotel is above a pub/reataurant..
There is a lift to all floors and AC in the room. Old fashioned key for the room door, which needs to be locked on exit
Tea and coffee making with biscuits in the room and a good shower with a detachable head
Lovely hotel with great restaurant and breakfast. Good service, easy parking just outside and great value.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms a lovely, if a bit warm. Lovely and characterful - which is impressive for a building which is only 10 or so years old.
Only slight downside was the food at night. Which was a bit average. But as a hotel, for the price you pay, can’t fault it
Lovely room and amazing bathroom! Staff friendly and helpful too. Great location opposite a little Waitrose and close to lovely coastline.

The staff were faultless, and paid much attention to my border collie (not surprising: that always happens.)
The room was too hot and there were a lot of strange stains on the walls. Very weird.
The rooms were good otherwise. Bathroom very stylish and functional. Bed= comfortable. Good thread count on the linen. Biscuits good. Coffee undrinksble.
I’d stay again, but I’d bring my aeropress. And I’d try not to look at the walls.
Parking was easy, lots of spaces and all free. Bar had a good feel to it, some cosy corners if preferred. Food was very good and breakfast was good, great choice
