Comfortable place to stay, great location, friendly team, and a cracking breakfast.
Always an enjoyable stay. Super friendly and welcoming. Always sleep so well here and to wake up to a lovely breakfast. The fact the beach front is directly opposite is wonderful.

The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.
Room comfortable and clean, staff very friendly and welcoming, excellent breakfast. Good location for excellent walks along the coast

Amazing Breakfast, Great Staff!
Great staff, very friendly and helpful all round.
The hotel is being renovated so it will be good to go back when it’s finished.
I’d still recommend a stay even during the upgrade work.
The breakfast is TOP DRAWER! 👍

Clean room, staff lovely. breakfast good, no view after conversion sounds fantastic. Obviously due updating when completed position perfect
The hotel is excellent value for money. Walking distance for many venues. Walk-in shower was great. Yes the room needs updating, however everything was absolutely spotless. Will definitely stay again.
It was nicely situated on the spotlessly clean promenade
The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent - nice rashers and sausages.
It was being renovated so there was hoarding around the outside, but that did not bother me.
Rooms being renovated with sea view looked as if they will be really nice.
Room 13 was spacious with a nice clean bathroom. Would stay here again.
At the moment there are scaffold on the outside, it didn't affect my stay. Hotel was well situated for the front and a short walk to the bars. I would consider staying here again.
