This was my second time staying at Drakes for my partners birthday. The staff were welcoming, the bed was cosy and we had a wonderful view of the sea. The bathtub in the window is such a lovely feature! The noise from the traffic woke us up in the morning as it's a busy seafront road outside, but the rest of the experience outweighed that.

Room was quirky but great view and very comfortable. Do not bother getting breakfast. It took 50 mts for toast and one hour for bacon & eggs. Not busy enough to warrant this. Other people were waiting over an hour. When this was mentioned at reception. Their response was it’s not our company!
