Lovely Locatiin Geeat Staff
Pros:

The location is great. There are sea view rooms if you want. They have a large beer garden. Breakfast is very good, looks of choice and fresh produce.

Cons:

There are two rooms which, unfortunately, we’ve been allocated on visits which are located in an old shop premises so have a very large window right onto the street. The window is of course shuttered off but it is still far too close to the outside pavement. The second room is in the basement below this with extremely low ceiling and poor sound proofing to the room above. Rooms 27 A and B are to be avoided.

Wanted to like this pretty hotel but not a good nights sleep.
Pros:

Lovely big bright room not far from seafront.
Delicious breakfast with lots of choice.
Tea and coffee in room was good.

Cons:

The bed was very soft.
We had a room with single glazing overlooking the road so was noisy at night with people outside the pub below and heavy lorries passing by in the morning. The emergent exit light cast a bright green glow around the room.
Missing shelf in bathroom so nowhere to put toiletries.
