Was tempted to go 5*, but just a tiny bit of modernization could be done with, like a bit of paint on the room, however the guys downstairs were great, amazing view (room 6 i stayed with daughter), if had the option I'd go maybe 4.7/5, so much going for the place, just a few minor touches could make it from great to brilliant I guess.

Poor

The location is ok. The hotel is very tired and in need of some TLC and staff have no idea what is going on. Carpets and decor definitely not as shown in photos! Sea front rooms have no view as windows completely fogged up and the windows don't work. Carpets and decor are old and stained but the linen was clean. You will need binoculars to watch TV from the bed.

The cost was very reasonable. I’m hoping my feedback will be received in the good spirit it comes from. Location was fantastic with sea views. Staff friendly and welcoming. The interior was tired. The bed bases were frayed and carpets coming away from the grippers. The bathroom was clean. The bedding was clean but the bed was leaning downhill. The bedside lampshade was stained. This accommodation was very reasonably priced but I would have been disappointed had I paid more money.

Wipe your feet on the way out

The worst hotel we have ever stayed in . So unclean , tired and should be advertised as a hostel . I booked this as a surprise for my partner and was so disappointed when we pulled up outside . You get what you pay for here for sure . I even had a pint of cider served in a cardboard coffee cup . No storage for your clothes either . I have learnt from this , will never book three star again .

A bit old and dated.

Lots of little things not working such as shower too hot, plugs not working. Dated rooms. Requested bay window but didn't get, no table and chairs as shown in photos and sounded like a nightclub at 3am with the amount of noise. On the positive side quiet clean, a good price and great position.

The owner of the guest house and the receptionist were very friendly and welcoming and generally the stay would have been ok except the bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was hard and lumpy, meaning we had a very poor nights sleep for the 2 nights we stayed. The guest house is though conveniently located on the sea front and it was very clean but a bit out dated. If you stayed in any room but room 2 your stay may be ok.

I never write reviews but my little girl and I were upset by the dirty and tatty conditions of this guest house. Won’t be returning, we had to dodge the mould in the shower, the carpet was threadbare and the windows were so dirty we couldn’t see the beautiful sunset. Beds were awful too

We stayed there for a day and the room was small but comfy in all sort of means. Seaside view was awesome and everything was in reachable distance.
