Nice stay in a clean room and a generous breakfast
Pros:

It was a friendly place and the staff went out of their way. Very good breakfast served in a very pleasant dunning room. Good location near the beach and pier and walkable from the station.

Cons:

The shower in our room didn’t keep a stable temperature so it was either too hot or too cold.

Bikes accommodated inside at night. Thank you.
Food was very good with options for all diets.

We would definitely choose to stay here again.
Pros:

Excellent choice at breakfast, individually cooked to order. Attentive staff, all pleasant & helpful.
My 4-year old grandson has some severe food allergies which we pre-warned the hotel about, and they were especially reassuring for his safety.

Cons:

Can't think of a thing!

Good value for money
Pros:

A lovely hotel on the seafront. Friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious and well furnished. The bathroom was small and the handling of the shower a bit tricky, but generally okay. One plus was the quiet but very efficient air conditioning unit in our room.

Cons:

Twin beds not picked up from the booking - could be the booking.com agency but expected twin - they changed them for us. Rooms hot at night - need aircon really now weather so hot. Bathrooms need updating - small shampoo bottles and soap - all needs upgrading a bit.

Nice experience
Pros:

Nice room although too many stairs and I had explained leg issues on booking. Bathroom could do with a bit of an update and toiletries replaced daily? Friendly staff and nice food.

Great location by the Sea. We had a lovely room facing the sea. King size bed and a spacious room. The breakfast was also good.
