The hotel was going through some restoration… the reception did apoloyfod the scaffolding all the way around as it was part requirement to have new windows…. it didn’t really bother us…. it was good that they had just done all the painting in the rooms many other visitors said they were glad to see it but they had left a lot of the old fixtures & fittings the shower curtain & bathroom flooring was very stained if you renovate you should follow it through with new accessories??

The staff were satisfactory. Local staff who were helpful. Perfect location and a good rate. The building is old. Access for disabled is poor, which they acknowledge. They are working on improving this. In the meantime, book elsewhere if you have mobility issues. Public areas are very dated, but clean. Available food although freshly prepared and competitively priced was not inspiring - eat elsewhere for your holiday treats. Room was clean, but nothing special. Overall a typical coastal hotel, dated and worn and in need of a makeover. Would I stay again? Yes, but with reservations - eat elsewhere.

Stayed for the purpose of a motor scooter rally. Food was good and staff were friendly. Some improvements were being carried out but we remained unaffected. Room was more than adequate for it's purpose. Not a particularly expensive stay and you get what you pay for.

Enjoyed our stay, pet friendly in most rooms which was a bonus for us because our dog travelled with us. Staff pleasant and friendly. Unsure about the food because didnt eat at the hotel, had a drink in the bar which was pleasant. They are doing work to the hotel so scaffolding to front of building. Net curtains required to the windows at front because no privacy due to the flats across the road and can see into your room. Fish and chips from the life boat fish shop was amazing. We managed to park outside front of hotel and bought a permit for£2.50 from hotel which was good value and lasted 2 days. A little noise from pub across road on the saturday night but didnt put us off. We will visit the hotel again and was a reasonable price.

Typical seaside old style hotel, don't let first impressions put you off. Really nice and friendly receptionist, hotel bar/restaurant areat and a quiet room absolutely lovely. The rooms are cosy, if you are looking for big rooms, look somewhere else. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy.

Nice hotel but in need of t l v lovely thick bath towels and the breakfast is fabulous all in all for that I paid for the hotel I can't complain about the hotel I would come back but to be honest it's only because of the price and lastly the house keeper could visit more often

Very poor. I booked for 2 nights but left after 1. As a light sleeper I had asked for a quiet room. I was instead given one directly above a noisy bar and opposite another noisy bar across the road. Moreover the walls between rooms are paper thin and so I could hear every word of the expletive ridden conversations next door. Overall a nightmare stay which had got off to a bad start because my checkin was delayed by there only being one staff member who was handling bar service and cooking as well as checkin.
