Hotel was so welcoming, staff are brilliant. Breakfast lovely.
Pros:

Staff were amazing, so friendly.

Cons:

Room was a bit basic, really creaky floorboards. I think I was up in the old servants quarters 😂
I was only there for one night which so it was fine but I wouldn’t have liked to have been in that room for any longer.

OK for a short stay only
Pros:

Very friendly helpful staff. Reception, lounge and restaurant areas kept very clean. There was a fair help yourself selection for breakfast.

Cons:

Bedroom very tired with scratched furniture, missing handles, castors, broken door stop and a warning label on the trouser press. There was too much pressure in the bathroom basin but low pressure in the shower. We paid extra for a sea view but you could only see the sea by standing with your face to the small window and looking sideways. WiFi only available in the public areas by the entrance.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location. Lovely breakfast. Cool old building.
