We arrived early and asked to leave our luggage whilst we went out for the day. Staff were very helpful, allowing us to check into our room much earlier. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. It’s in a great location.

Reasonable value for money. It poor breakfast.

We booked 2 rooms - the premium room was very nice. The double room was in a rather noisy part of the hotel ? Due to building works ? We were disappointed to be told the kitchen was closed so only a continental breakfast was on offer - and we missed that because service ended at 09h30…. Given there was no hot food it would have been good for the continental breakfast to be served for longer so that we could have had it… other than that we were happy with the stay - it was good value for money overall and in a good location - close to the beach and other restaurants.

I loved the history of the hotel, room was large and comfortable. A little attention needs to be made to finish ie curtains had fallen off track, so difficult to close properly, USB charging point would be useful. Breakfast was perfect and set us up for the day

Lovely traditional hotel

Traditional hotel with a fabulous seafront location. The room and bathroom were a good size. Very comfortable bed. We opted for an upgraded sea view room which was lovely… but if you’re a light sleeper br prepared for both hovercrafts starting up at 6am!! Good selection for breakfast.

Great property. Close to pier head. Very unique hotel. Disappointed with quality of wifi. Staff did accommodate us and get us a room with a bit stronger wifi signal but still kept dropping off. Rooms very clean. Nice linens. Pillows could be upgraded
