Nice staff. Room was nice and clean but the shower absolutely useless. Impossible to use with little water pressure. Parking available but tight for a larger vehicle. Good location.

Family feel to this charming old hotel. Built in 1600s. Short walk to the beach. Surrounded by shops and pubs/ restaurants.Large free carpark. Excellent food and lovely staff. We had a large en-suite bedroom which was a little dated but very comfortable bed and very clean. Tea, coffee and biscuits filled up each day. Hidden gem was a swimming pool and jacuzzi which you could hire for an hour just for us. Really enjoyed our 3night stay and would love to go back.

We were in room 5 it was a little dark in there because of the trees outside of the picture window and the room lighting was a little poor because of the lights had silly basket shades on which stopped the light coming out. The shower head spread water to much and there wasn’t anywhere to put your shower gel on a shelf in there and no where to hang your towel outside the cubicle

The room we were allocated was very small for us with a dog (classed as a comfy room). This was the room the hotel imformed us was what Expedia told them we had booked.???? Other than that the hotel is fantastic. Close to the shops,beach,restaurants and parking on site (free) The swimming pool was great ,the bar was warm and friendly, the staff warm,friendly and helpful . Would definitely go back to this hotel but would book a large room because of our dog..
