Loved my stay. The staff were accommodating to my needs during the stay. The dinner and the breakfast were amazing. The views were gorgeous and every aspect of my trip was great. Would definitely recommend staying here.
The hotel is overlooking the Rocks- beach an attractive tourist destination. Its a cobble and pebble beach with small patches of sand for kids to play close to the hotel. Breakfast is good with good options for eggetarians and vegetarians. We did not have dinner or lunch at the hotel as we are not fan of sea food. It’s a kids friendly place and provided small bottle of milk everyday. Very helpful and welcoming staff. We would love to visit again.
A beautiful hotel situated in a quaint, scenic town. The rooms all overlook the sea/coast and are fitted with everything you’d need.
We felt instantly relaxed at The Albion and would love to return.
Enjoyed three night stay. Need some form of hand-grip in the large shower, or a seat. Breakfast could be better— I think staff should bring tea and coffee and toast to the table— quite awkward to fill up a teapot with boiling water. Cutlery missing on laid table every morning.plates cleared away before everyone finished eating.
Had a great couple of days at this hotel. Staff friendly hotel, lovely with great rooms super doggy, friendly and great food. Only pity in the area is the beach adjacent to the hotel is not doggy friendly during the summer. Other than that fantastic couple of days They also run a fshuttle to the Hut restaurant, which is well worth a visit.
We had a lovely weekend away at the Albion. We dined at The Rock, lovely food and staff were lovely. We had a sea view ground floor room, lovely decor and really comfy bed.
