Sea views and good location
Fabulous location with sea views, beautiful gardens overlooking the sea and a few mins walk to the beach, just 10 mins from the pier. Although the hotel is very dated in decor, you’re really paying for the view and great hospitality. The building has a beautiful Victorian staircase, and a traditional feel. The room was functional but needs updating. Shame there were no toiletries other than hand soap in the bathroom. A little shampoo could be included in the room rate. Free parking and ample space in the Carpark. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was extra but very nice and sustained us for the day. I’d stay again. Great location and hospitality!
