    It was a bit hot and we needed to use the fan which was very dusty and got me sneezing!

    We had a nice one-night stay, the room was quite clean, the location wasn’t bad, around 15 min walk to the beach and the staff were very friendly.

    Check-In went really well, we were warmly welcomed and shown into our room. The room just has about everything you need, we booked ours with an en-suite bathroom. Hotel staff is absolutely friendly, we really enjoyed the breakfast prepared (included) and the location is really great as well as it is just opposite the train station.

    Great little b&b 10mins from East Cliff Room had everything we needed and was just what we needed for a night away when we knew we'd be out for the evening. Chris let us carry on using the parking whilst we went for a wander on Sunday morning after checkout. Parking was on the road - this was fine as we managed to bag a spot but it meant we didn't want to move the car and risk losing it. Nothing can be done about this and it wouldn't stop me from staying again.

    Room was a little dark, more lighting would help.

    Breakfast was excellent, and the staff so accommodating. The ‘stand in’ manager carried our case up to the top floor, room was comfortable, parking space allocated right outside. Towels in the bathroom and bedding were all beautifully white and clean.
