Pleasant seaside hotel
Pros:

Room was clean and adequate for our stay. Staff were really welcoming and helpful and breakfast was really reasonable and tasty.

Cons:

Lift to get to third floor was incredibly tight for two people so we took the stairs which was a real rabbit warren to negotiate. It’s a typical seaside hotel - perfectly adequate for a one night stay, clean and decent. If you go without high expectation of luxury, you won’t be disappointed.

It was better than expected
Pros:

Being close to the pier and food was ideal, also the rooms were extremely clean and comfy. You can hear everything that happens in the hallway however after a long day falling asleep was easy in the comfy big bed! Would definitely stay here again for longer.
