Short stay for a family event
Pros:

Very friendly staff. Once you had your room key, you could enter the building any time of night you wanted, as long as you respected the other guests & neighbours. Room I had was en-suite, so didn't need to worry about shared facilities. They accommodated my advanced request for an early arrival (1230pm) so I could attend a family event that started at 2pm nearby.

Cons:

No obvious reception area for guests staying the night; I had to go into the restaurant area to find a member of staff (who was very helpful though).
Not realising how old the building was from the photos. This is only an issue if you're over 6ft tall, as a number of the doors aren't much taller than this. This made the shower a 'cozy' experience.
Something not every guest might appreciate is the trainline being about 150m away; wasn't a problem for myself.

Pros:

Comfortable bed and nice breakfast. Friendly and efficient staff.

Cons:

Had to flag up a couple of issues on arrival but, to be fair, both the duty manager and the owner were apologetic and took steps to resolve the situation. Also the walls are really thin, you can hear literally everything from the next room. Not ideal if you're a light sleeper.

Won't be returning at that price.
Pros:

Hotel and rooms are clean. Breakfast was very good, with a full vegetarian option. Younger staff members very friendly. Fully stocked bar at the pub downstairs. Nice bed linen and a good wee en suite bathroom with an electric shower. Although the other 3 rooms were occupied, it was very quiet on my mid week stay.

Cons:

The room is IMHO, very overpriced. The Mattress should be changed : it is a saggy coil spring, not comfortable. The 'sea view' , well, first the flat roof, then the car park, then the railway line and then the sea. Disappointing but I believe there is one room where it is very good. I was in room 1, at the top of the stairs. Pub meal was very basic although perfectly enjoyable, a bit overpriced I thought.
