Immaculate, welcoming and fantastic breakfast! Can't fault anything.
Pros:

Lovely hosts, very welcoming and accommodating. The room was decorated beautifully, and absolutely immaculate. Tea and coffee supplies ready in the room and mini fridge which was great. Bathroom was extremely clean and a lovely good size shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious and checkout at 11am is great so there is no rush to pack and leave as soon as you get up. Would definitely stay again if I was coming to the area, and can recommend to others. Great location for seeing a show at the DeLaWarr as only a few minutes walk away and plenty of restaurants and shops within a few minutes walk of the hotel.
