Charming victorian hotel

A lovely period hotel. Needs a bit of updating in some areas but mostly it adds to its charm. Food is good - choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts each day - every day different. Also there is a bar menu served in the day. While I was there they were offering cream teas and afternoon tea which looked good. Good location - right on the esplanade and within a short walk to town, the park and railway station. The gardens are extensive and are beautiful. It was great to watch the squirrels darting around and the various birds with their antics. I had a relaxing time and felt quite rested when I left so much so I'm retuning in a couple of months!

Nice old hotel right in the seafront. Our room overlooked the gardens, beach and sea, well worth paying the extra. Food is really tasty. Excellent customer service.

I think it was good value for money. The hotel was clean and staff friendly and helpful. Some of the decor was a bit jaded or old fashioned. ie door key rather than electronic No charging point for mobile. We brought a charging plug so OK.

Two night stay

I didn’t have a friendly welcome at the reception but most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The doors to the bedrooms are very clunky and I could hear doors closing with a loud thud. I could also hear dogs barking - which I didn’t appreciate. I had a “Superior” Double room with Sea View, so I was surprised to find the room had a ripped curtain. The room was comfortable and generally clean, but I did spot some grime on the bath by the shower screen. The room had a balcony but to be frank it needs a good jet wash and the wooden rails also looked neglected and needed some TLC. and from what I could tell, most of the balconies were in a similar state. At midday on Friday there was a bar-b-que lit in the gardens and the smoke drifted up to my balcony - which I didn’t appreciate as it was a hot day and I was forced to close the balcony door to keep the smell out. Breakfast was okay but nothing special - no mushrooms for instance, and the plates provided are side plates not dinner plates. It’s not a bad hotel but it could be a lot better and a “superior”room really should be a “superior” room. The hotel has WIFI but fact that that it’s not secured with a password is pretty poor in my opinion.

The hotel itself looks a little old with outdated carpet and curtains and heavy doors that slam shut which is annoying when you’re trying to rest , the tv in the room was smaller than my pc monitor and the bath was so small I couldn’t lay down comfortably. On the plus side it has a beautiful garden area and is across the road from the sea front. It is also a short walk to pretty much all of the shops and the train station in the town.
