The hotel is well-situated on the esplanade, historic, and full of extremely kind staff.

Bailey United States of America

We paid a little extra for a sea view and we were not disappointed. We had a lovely big room with huge windows.. the breakfast was adequate and the staff were very friendly. The location was first class which we already knew because we live just an hour away.

Jennifer United Kingdom

Staff very friendly and helpful, very clean, great location. Would definitely recommend.

Alan United Kingdom

We booked the family room for two of us and the room was large and airy overlooking the sea. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Perfect location on the Esplanade with just a short walk into town and the beach. Free parking on site which is always a bonus. We felt the room was very well priced and will certainly return again.

Kevin United Kingdom

The room was spacious and the hotel was quite nice

Anonymous United Kingdom

James United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent,with a good choice.Staff very friendly and helpful

Jones United Kingdom

Breakfast really good value, location ideal on seafront. Room was tired, ( not surprising after Covid) but really clean and comfortable. Only problem one curtain had pulled away from rail so was difficult to keep closed. Passed to reception for them to report

Christine United Kingdom

Beautiful room overlooking the stunning coastline.
