Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were marvellous and really made our stay here. Everyone was friendly, chatty and helpful. We ate there twice in the evenings and the food was good and reasonable value, as was the breakfast. The bar had a nice vibe and was fun to sit in; you can sit out and admire the sea view at the front. Parking was a little problematic, and in high season must be highly challenging. The hotel is a listed building on the seafront and apparently this means that it can not be fitted with a lift, so you need to be fit to access the third floor rooms. Staff will help with cases though. Room was clean and met our needs, Generally we enjoyed staying there, and would come again. Good if you are reasonably fit.
