Lovely hotel on the seafront

A perfect location, directly on the seafront and walkable to the town and theatre. An old hotel, but our room was recently decorated and clean. We parked in the NCP about a 10 min walk from the hotel, but there were options to park along the seafront.

I liked the restaurant/breakfast area as it was bright and beach front. Car permits was given for the stay.There was no uniqueness regarding the hotel. The stairs, bedroom and bathroom needs modernisation. The whole hotel is very dated with caution tapes on the stairs.

An attractive garden gave welcome to a spacious and clean entrance. Since our stay was on a bank holiday early in the season the bar was not open and we were not able to dine from what looked like a tasty menu. Check in was easy and the room spotless and well- appointed. Location central and near the sea made this a pleasant stay
A delightful pier so close
