Great location, excellent staff. My room had a wonderful sea view. There was a relatively new carpet and a really comfortable bed, but there were a few cracks in the bathroom sink that needed repair and the paintwork was a bit tired. It didn’t take away from a relaxing stay and would definitely consider it again.

Whilst I would not call it a five star hotel. It is an excellent location and place to stay. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The place is clean. The food is great. The sea view from the room was excellent. The cigar lounge is an excellent spot. Breakfast is served hot with a few choices and made to your liking. We highly recommend this hotel

This hotel is one of the rare finds, that you will treasure forever. Perfect location, overlooking the beach and pier, this seaside Hotel takes you back to what english seaside hotels would have been in their prime. Our room was big and spacious, with a view of the seafront. Super friendly and attentive staff, made my son’s day when he could borrow the paddle board provided by the hotel. The life music on the piano, turned into a fabulous evening of blues and exchange with pianist and other guests. Overall as a Family we had a fabulous time and will be back for sure. This Hotel made the families favourite list for sure.

A beautiful hotel right on the seafront. The staff are excellent and all of the amenities are fantastic. From the coffee in the lounge, cocktails in the bar and breakfast in the restaurant, it was all lovely. The room was huge as was the bathroom, with a gorgeous sea view. Dinner in the restaurant was complimented by a free drink on our first night. The food was lovely and the live pianist added wonderful ambience. The only niggles are that the dinner menu is a little restrictive for vegetarian/vegan diets and that room service for the breakfast took a while as they were busy but these are first world problems!

The service provided by the staff was excellent but money needs to be spent to improve the quality of the accommodation. Carpets were stained and the shading on the bathroom walls suggested that a flood had occurred.
