Nice, but cold !

I stayed at this little hotel a few years ago for work, thats why I returned. The staff are still lovely and friendly and the room spotlessly clean. Bar and outside seating area great too. My room was freezing cold though and the double glazed window faulty, so it was draughty too. I sat in my room with a dressing gown over my clothes and bed socks on. I did say when i checked out - and the receptionist said if i had phoned down they would have put some heating on for me. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the room saying that ! The heating was already on in the bar and restaurant though so they must have realised what a cold BH it was ! I dont like complaining.

Home from home…….

I’ve stayed at the Camelia many times and always have a wonderful stay. The team there are beyond friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A real home from home. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Very pleasant.

Highly recommend the restaurant. Very nice food, I had a fantastic ribeye steak, although the full English breakfast was sparse. The room was basic with budget fixtures and fittings in the bathroom ( I’m a plumber) and the basin plus was broken making it difficult to wet shave. When I reported the basin issue I got the impression they already knew about it. The whole place is spotlessly clean and tidy. The staff are a credit to the business.

Fabulous calm atmosphere, lovely restaurant, no quibble fitting me in at 8.15pm on a Friday evening (they serve guests up to 8.45), would definitely stay again. Every member of staff is friendly and welcoming. It is clearly a nice place to work for them and they are a great team.
