Overall a positive experience, room, food, location all good. Our only slight concern was not being aware prior to arrival that there were no members of staff on the premises overnight. We only became aware when being told extra details around fire procedures & being asked to sign to say we understood the procedure. When rechecking the booking we could not find anything that actually stated guests would not have staff on site overnight only again information around fire procedures, feel this is misleading & should be made clear before booking.

Staff are great - friendly and helpful. Rooms I booked were ok based on price and amenities. Location of rooms I booked dreadful. Accessed directly from outside and 1 in particular with a window next to the cross roads and traffic lights on a very busy road. Noise unacceptable through both the door and the window - felt a bit like Harry Potter fitted in under the stairs. The roller blind / blackout blind on the door is a waste of time as the door closure mechanism at the top of the door meant the blind starts part way down the door and light streams through as soon as day breaks and the bed is sited directly in front so it hits you right in the face. Very disappointing overall. Breakfast was good.

Fantastic family and dog friendly stay.

We stayed in a triple room. My wife and I, two boys (11&13) and our dog. The staff were friendly and the room was well equipped and done up to a nice standard, with a lovely view across the Downs towards the sea. We have an evening meal which was very nice. And the included breakfast was also top notch. For the price, I could not fault it, and would certainly recommend staying here.
