Pros:

In a lovely location just 10 min walk to the old village and 5 mins to the beach via the lift that takes you down. Real good value for money as the price included a cooked breakfast of your choice each morning. The staff at the hotel were extremely polite, Bill in particular who looked after us and my fussy needs. The room was clean and comfortable. We would love to go and stay there again soon. Thank you Hambledon Hotel.

Cons:

Pros:

Klein, gemoedelijk hotel aan een rustige straat op loopafstand van het strand. Er is een bushalte voor de deur waar je de hele dag de stadsbus kunt pakken en in de ochtend de 'island coaster' die langs de hele westkust gaat.
De bonus: een super vriendelijke eigenaar met een fijn droog gevoel voor humor.
