Poor
Room 12 is a good size with lovely views alas it’s in the roof and no lift. Staircase very steep.
No breakfast as they didn’t have a chef!!
Not particularly well run. I’d emailed them twice but they never reply. There is no hotel car park and the hotel is a 15 minute walk to the beach.

What a view!
A lovely place to stay with views to die for. The rooms were large and comfy, thought he mattress seemed a bit old. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was good quality for a good price. Walking distance to the train station and a few nice pubs too.

Staff extremely helpful, room clean, comfortable and well appointed.
I suspect parking would be an issue in summer as relies on public car park but worked for us in February!

Good and bad
The room was fine. Very clean. Sea view. We couldn't get the shower to work so used the bath instead.
We opted to take breakfast which was a great disappointment. The self serve buffet had no cups, saucers, spoons, bowls or yoghurt and just 2 croissants left at 9am. The toast machine was broken. The menu was confusing (egg on toast option included the buffet breakfast, but very small pale print so hard to read). Staff member blithely admitted it wasn't very good and didn't charge us in the end. Also said it was good we opted not to eat there the previous evening as they were busy with one and a half hour wait for food. Shame the food lets it all down.

Lovely place to stay staff friendly clean beds comfortable .stairs very steep need to take your time with them people with poor mobility would find them hard to cope .there is room for 2 cars to park opposite hotel or need to park in carpark a 2-5 minute walk away .you can purchase a parking pass for £5 per day to stay there and it also cover other cars named on list in different car parks food served is very good in the restaurant not too pricey .
