Nice place. Room was well appointed and overall clean. Carpet could do with being deep cleaned. Great views of the sea. Some of the rooms are updated and some are from the 1980s. View of the sea is the winner here.

Dear Guest Thank you for your review and your kind comments therein. We have planned to begin a refurbishment of all bedrooms in April 2020, however, due to the hotel having to close during the pandemic everything has been put on hold. We are hoping to restart this year once the industry begins to normalise and we have greater stability I hope that when you return you will be able to see the improvements being undertaken Once again, thank you for your review, it has been very helpful Kindest regards

Grand old Victorian building. Victoriana fans will love it. Decor is stuck in the 80s, however ensures lower price for being across from the sea. Quiet stay. Windows are single pane glass so be warned if you go in the winter. Overall great stay in seaview room. Would stay again.

Everything was just right, staff were very polite, room was spacious, bathroom was just right we really enjoyed our stay. Only negative was that the room was very warm but that's my fault in that I could have turned the radiator down or opened the window.

Confusion over parking permits was not made clear, having to then ask because booking said free offsite parking allocated it wasn’t , told it was fine because we had a blue badge but no where on the ticket machine did it say it was free and that we could park over 3 hours only when I questioned this was I offered a permit for £3 which I didn’t mind paying but I could have ended up with a fine if I hadn’t checked and was only then offered the permit.

Dear Guest Thank you for your review and I am sorry for the confusion regarding the parking. All parking at the front of the hotel is chargeable as it is council owned, however, we have a permit that allows hotel guests to stay for £3 per day, however, Blue Badge holders are able to park free of charge so long as it is a valid permit and it is on display I hope this helps should you return again in the future Kindest regards Neil
