Fine for a short stay
Pros:

The location was good,the cleaning lady was lovely and did an excellent job,the shower was great plenty of hot water and toiletries were provided,bed was comfy and the room had tea/coffee making facilities
The breakfast situation was a bit odd as you had to pass through the kitchen into the pub/restaurant and there was no cooked option . Overall it did serve the purpose.

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better

Nice place to stay
Pros:

The room was really nice and had very modern bathroom. The pub was a typical old style pub but the beer was at pub prices. Food was also good.

Cons:

Unfortunately during our stay the road outside was being resurfaced overnight which carried on until 4am and on the first night meant pretty much no sleep but to be fair we have just been unlucky and normally this would not be a busy road and would certainly not.put us off staying there again.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t stay here again 🙁
Pros:

Staff were lovely & hotel was near sea front. Bedding & bathroom was clean (but the toilet wasn’t fixed to the wall properly).

Cons:

The net curtains in the room needed changing (not sure what was in them) & it was draughty through the sash window. The noise from the pub (& possibly the other nearby) went on until 2am. Weekend breakfast is only served from 8.30am, I was leaving at 8am…
