Cosy, comfortable stay in a lovely welcoming place
Pros:

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, there was good communication leading up to our arrival and you felt they were making a positive effort to engage with guests right from the start. Friendly, welcoming attentive lady taking our order at breakfast every day. No extra effort made for vegetarians in the options, other than leaving bacon, black pudding and sausage out of the options, but still a good choice and cooked to order. Porridge was a hot option instead of a cooked breakfast - a variety of cereals and some fruit salad, fruit compote and full fat yogurt also on offer. Toast, selection of jams and chocolate spread, option of a croissant. Nice breakfast room. We had other plans with relatives so did not eat in the restaurant, but again, not a lot of options for a mushroom-sensitive vegetarian (unless you are keen on fish). But it is a small establishment, and they have a good offer. There is a small bar, we enjoyed a drink in there on evening and might have had a sandwich in there if not out every day. The shower in the bathroom attached to our room (down a step) worked well at first touch. Basic tea and coffee supplies (and nice biscuits!) replenished each day. Hairdryer in the cupboard. We didn't use them, but an iron and a fan were also provided. We found the ship-focussed decor in the hotel very interesting to look around, the hotel did feel very welcoming and cosy inside and looked terrific from the outside with its Christmas lights. There was a small lounge and a place to sit in the entrance which we didn't get time to take advantage of. A lot packed into a relatively small area. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, there was good communication leading up to our arrival and you felt they were making a positive effort to engage with guests right from the start.

Cons:

We were glad our visit was in winter rather than summer - for us, parking was ok in that we got a spot on the road outside, at no charge, and had no trouble getting back into it. There is a small car park at the rear of the property but we just could not get our Honda Civic in through the entrance. So close to the sea front no doubt it would be more tricky parking on the road outside in summer, but there is a long stay car park a little distance away so if all else fails, you could drop your bags off and then park up elsewhere. Stairs up to the rooms - for anyone with mobility issues that might be a problem.
