The location of the property is great - very near the seafront and easy enough to park. We had a twin room, which was spacious & the bathroom was modern and had nice complementary toiletries and a great shower (important on this visit as the weather was foul!). The owner met us & was really friendly and helpful; the girls serving breakfast were also lovely. We didn't use the guest lounge - but it is a really nice room, & looked very comfortable and homely. We didn't hear any noise from other guests, or from the road outside.
United KingdomThe breakfast was very nice, plenty of choice and plenty of food.
United KingdomEverything. The location was great, the rooms were nice and comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was exceptional and staff were very lovely. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again myself.

United KingdomFriendly staff, good breakfast, socially distancing adhered to, nicely decorated, large and cosy rooms!
United KingdomThe breakfast was excellent. My stay met all my expectations for the price.
United KingdomParking was on a first come first served basis, but we walked to most places or used public transport. So excellent for us. Breakfast gave a huge choice and everything was beautifully cooked. The dinning room was light and airy, a good start to the day. Our bedroom with en-suite again was light and airy with everything that was needed for a good holiday.
United KingdomReally welcoming , friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.
United KingdomExcellent location, great breakfast and lovely staff. Perfect!
United KingdomWe were greeted really warmly by Kate. The hotel was spotlessly clean from the front door to our room to the dining room. Our room was really comfortable & had everything we needed. The staff were lovely & incredibly friendly. Covid/NHS track & trace is available. Masks must be worn throughout the hotel, except in your room & when eating breakfast. Hand sanitiser is available throughout the hotel. We will certainly look to return in the future.
