Characterful, nice decor, tall ceilings, Victorian property. Food was really good, breakfast was awesome, staff were really good, friendly and attentive. We'd booked for two adults and a child through expedia, when we arrived the system just showed a double master room. The duty manager fortunately understood our situation and sorted out a child food out bed, which is what we'd expected.

The food meet the standard, wine do not have too much choice. We selected a bottle of Pays d’Oc for dinner. But the cleanness of the hotel room do with question. A lot of dust and I have question about when did they check the bed linen and cushion cover?

Awful.

Terrible. Dirty room, uncomfortable bed, old furniture. Breakfast was slow. We left after one night. In fairness to Gemma she handled it very well and refunded the second night with a partial refund for the first and understood this property is in dire need of a refurb.

Great location just a short drive from the beach. Plenty of shopping in walking distance and a nice farmers market on the doorstep when we were there. Helpful guide in the room detailing local activities and pleasant staff working throughout during our stay. The room was also well equipped and the bed super comfortable

Great

We really enjoyed our stay. Ot was a great family room which had the kids room attached with door between and was great because of that. I felt very safe here which is important due to my anxiety. There is a coutyard outside our window but notices it was closed at 10 so was great and not noisy. We had Dyson fans in our room which helped with the heat as it was summertime. All staff were very frkendly and professional.

Good with a couple of minor niggles

We were very impressed by all the staff we encountered during our stay. We stayed for one night in Room 110 which was a good size with lots of character. A few of things let it down, the mattress too saggy, the shower seal not great so the bathmat became sodden very quickly and the coffee machine wouldn’t work. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would book again.
