Had a lovely stay here with the family. Huge family room and very friendly staff. Great breakfast!
Large room with view over the sea and pier. Old building close as you can get to the sea so plenty of interesting differences to a modern setup creating a unique character set up. Breakfast was excellent with great view of the beach sea. No issues with parking this time of year.
Excellent friendly staff, beautiful room. Would definitely recommend and will stay again

A sea-view room was spacious, spotless and very well stocked. The ensuite bathroom was spacious too and offered a slipper bath & separate shower. The hotel was quiet (weeknight stay) and staffed with friendly faces. Would stay again & recommend
Stayed here lots of time always good place to stay

We arrived late afternoon and went to the bar to check in as reception was closed. I asked one member of staff if we could check in. She turned to another person and said, 'that's your check in.' Not exactly offensive, but not welcoming either.
Other than that:
The bed was big, but not hugely comfortable.
The hot tap in the sink didn't work at all, i.e. zero water.
The room was large.
Breakfast had a good selection.
