Nice hotel, lovely weather, very enjoyable stay
Pros:

Room, breakfast was excellent, staff helpful and friendly. Nice bar to come back to in the evening. The booked parking was very useful as the surrounding streets were very busy especially in the evenings.

Cons:

We had no complaints apart from the stairs being very steep. However we had been offered a ground floor twin when we booked which we declined so it was our choice.

Great location and lovely stay!
Pros:

Great location and I’ve stayed here before it’s very comfortable! Really great staff and everyone was kind to me and my baby girl and they were very helpful with providing a cot and baby high chair and really nice breakfast - there was a short walk to the beach and we really enjoyed it!

Cons:

There was a mix up about the extra day so we had to move rooms the second day but it was sorted out quickly and wasn’t a big drama.

Just right for our needs as we both struggle with mobility.
Pros:

Room was clean, spacious and bright. The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly and helpful.
The bathroom was a bit small and lacked towel rails and a shelf above basin.

Cons:

Located on quite a busy road, though convenient to get to any direction.
Could have done with some info on using shower heater.

Hübsches Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Äußerst zuvorkommendes Personal! Die Damen waren allesamt sehr bemüht, unsere Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Ob Victoria, Carolyn, Lyra - alle top! Wir haben statt eines Zimmers mit 2 Einzelbetten ein großes Familienzimmer bekommen, das sehr komfortabel für zwei war. Gute Betten, wenn auch die Einzelbetten recht schmal sind. Generell ist das Hotel hübsch hergerichtet, im maritimen Stil mit netten Eyecatchern.
Die Lage ist perfekt - 5 Minuten zur Marina, 5 Minuten ins Zentrum.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer könnte eine gründlichere Reinigung vertragen. Staubsaugen bitte auch in den Ecken des Zimmers - es ist immerhin Teppichboden. Und typisch englisch halt - die Türen und Fenster sind schalldurchlässig und es zieht auch einigermaßen durch.
Bei der Frühstücksauswahl wäre Käse mal eine nette Abwechslung. Die Marmeladen sind leider paketierte Billigware aus dem Großhandel.
