Property info

The Great Western Hotel is a detached Victorian villa, build in 1864. It stands in its own grounds with limited onsite parking, a fairly large garden with two pedestrian entrances from Sands Road. The car park is on belle vue road, off sands road. This railway themed hotel is beautifully close to the sea and railway memorabilia throughout. The Victorian design means some of the rooms have lovely high ceilings and big windows to let in the sunlight. N.B. Room only. Strictly no breakfast or room service. Exception to bookings made prior to 7th May 2021.

Neighborhood info

We are in a fairly quiet neighbourhood, only minutes level walking distance to the harbour, beach and 5 minutes walk from the main British railway station, the Steam Railway, Local bus and National Express stations. The local bus/coach station is right across the railway station. The town centre is also 5 minutes walk away.
