Excellent stay here, the staff were very accommodating, Espically to my young children. Excellent position on the seafront and a short walk to amenities. The room itself was very clean, warm and cosy. I really appreciated the call, from Paul, earlier in the day to say we could arrive early, it was snowing so we appreciated the warm cosy room.
I was told the chef was unwell but having breakfast you would not know it. The hotel catered for all vegetarian, vegan and gluten free needs. A real gem of a find, you can feel it is a family run establishment with a lot of love goes into creating a cosy environment for their guests. Thank you very much, we would love to return 💚

Stayed for two nights, The Hotel and room was kept spotlessly clean, the hotel staff were all very friendly, we was made to feel very welcome and everyone working was very accommodating. Lovely large sea view room with en suite, excellent views, hot drink facilities, toiletries t.v and hairdryer.
Breakfast was cooked fresh, very tasty and great menu with plenty of choice, served by polite staff catering to specific needs.
Location of the hotel was fab, in a quiet area need the waterways with onsite parking.
Will definately return as I have found my new favourite hotel in the area 😍

Short Break

It was a very welcoming and friendly Hotel and Food was hot and well presented with a good choice and service was excellent.
Our room was small but contained all we needed and a very good shower. The only downfall was that we had no view out of our window as it had been covered in obscure glass - our view was fire escape and car park, but even that would have been better to have looked at than no view at all.

I booked as it has good reviews only to find the single room was literally only big enough for the bed and a side table. The ensuite had you sat on the toilet and legs under the sink which was close enough to rest your head on! The frosted window made the room feel smaller and opening the window wasnt really an option unless you like the sound of the kitchen extractors and the possibility of someone climbing through your window due to the stairs out the back. The car parking was a nightmare to get into and no wonder they say park at your own risk. The on site restaurant had fish and chips for nearly 20 quid. I checked in ans checked out within an hour as could not bare to stay in such a cramped room.

This hotel is amazing, it is family owned and everyone, all staff were so friendly. We stayed in the family room it was lovely decorated and very clean and all the little extras thought about. Even a children’s toilet seat on the toilet if needed, a bath mat and an anti slip mat. Toiletries, lovely soft WHITE towels. The breakfast was so lovely. We had children with us who were fussy, so they said they could have any items they wanted on the menu individually ( not many places do this! It’s the menu and that’s that)!
What a lovely hotel and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Good, comfortable, great value, good food and lively even though out of season. Suffers the standard British hotel disease of curtains that don't keep out the lights at night (I bring a blindfold). And I don't award eco friendly stars because I have no idea what happens behind the scenes. So long as water goes down the sink & WC without leaking into the kitchen how the hotel manages its statutory duties is up to them. Definitely recommended.

We were a party of 5. We booked 2 rooms, 2 adults in a deluxe sea view and another with a single and a double sea view. On arrival the gentleman was extremely friendly and offered help with our bags. I brought my dad a birthday cake but forgot candles and matches, the gentleman was so kind finding me both of these things which he didnt need to do. My room the triple room was on the top floor, unfortunately we couldnt get wifi in the evening and with 2 teenagers i needed it. He tried really hard to fix it but it couldnt be so offered us another room on a lower floor which we accepted. The room wasnt as comfy or pleasing as the sea view room but i was ok with this as we were only staying 1 night. Breakfast was really lovely, the lady server very helpful and and we could tailor the hot breakfast as we wished in addition to fruit, yoghurt and toast. The decor throughout is quite dated but fits with the building. My children quite enjoyed a different experience compared to the usual premier in. And to add the deluxe double sea view was really enjoyed by my dad and his wife as there are comfy chairs sea facing where they enjoyed a cup of tea.

I had very high hopes for this hotel after reading the reviews from others. But I was disappointed from first impression. The room I was initially given was incredibly outdated and looked like a hostel room. Nothing like any of the pictures. However kindly the front desk moved me to a much nicer room which was worlds apart. However the walls are incredibly thin and I could hear the neighbours TV so loud in the rooms on both sides of me. The room was also baking hot. Although my second room was lovely with a beautiful sea view. I would not return to this hotel again as it did not live up to the exceptional ratings thus far.

Used this hotel for an event near the hotel. Its overlooks the coast and a few minutes walk to town. Cant fault the staff, friendly, helpful and polite. Hotel was clean. Price was reasonable. The breakfast was really nice and the restaurant served evening meals if you wanted to eat in. Down side, yes sorry.... heating was on constantly , so windows were open all day and night as the thermostate on one of the radiators by the bed didnt work so we were unable to turn that radiator off. I think there may have been sewage works being carried out at the hotel as every know and then there was a smell in the bathroom that wafted into our room which probably couldnt be helped. Having said all that, would defo stay again :-)
