Ebenezer's Place

We were not impressed. The bath had large bits of enamel missing. The floorboards were scratched and the paint scuffed. Maybe this was to give a beach vibe but it just felt grubby. Was generally a bit grubby. The toilet makes a horrendous noise when you flush it. Weird shell next to the bath that looked a bit offensive! No shower curtain so very difficult to wash as didn’t want to sit in a bath with such big bits of enamel missing. The listing needs updating as there is no breakfast available. The Charles Dickens opposite did a decent one. Really glad we were only there for one night.

A nice little place in the centre of the action, near the beach, near some shops, near pubs and eateries. Could be romantic. Pub noise opposite does stop at midnight. Generally well-appointed, the three larger rooms are done out beautifully, though our room, "Beach", was small with an attempt at a beach hut look. Bed very comfortable, floor painted, no carpet, the room is decorated in grey, white and a (feature?) wall in orange. One clothes rack, no drawers The bathroom floor needed regrouting and so it harboured dust, which got onto the towels. The toilet had a stylised monster motif at the front looking up at you and the sound of its cistern was similar to a 737 at take-off. The main doubt I would have about the Beach room, and possibly the others, is that the roll-top Victorian-style bath is not a shower, though it has a spray handpiece. It is also on a little dais of its own and therefore getting in and out can be tricky, what with the height and the slipperiness of the curved-bottom bath. It nearly legged me up getting in, and my wife just slipped back in 5 times after her bath. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone over 60 or unsteady on their feet.

Lovely rooms with unique style. Loved the deep bathtub. Perfect location and excellent breakfast over the road at affiliated cafe Twists.

Clean room near the beach ideal for restaurants and bars etc

Fabulous room. Sadly as it is an old building I could hear everything happening in the room above, this included a very heavy footed person. Bath is very luxurious. Great high quality tea and coffee but no decaf tea.
