How refreshing to see a small family run business thriving amongst the myriad of high rise faceless chains. The staff were all pleasant, helpful and efficient throughout our stay. We arrived at lunch time. While the bar appeared to be closed and there was no snack menu evident the very helpful receptionist kindly arranged for sandwiches, tea and beer to... More

Although I have never actually stayed at this hotel, I have attended three different parties there. My mother had her 80th Birthday party there, my friend had her 50th birthday party there and then last night we attended a wedding reception there. This is such a gem of a place, the function room opens out onto the garden which is... More

This hotel and restaurant is set back from the busier sea front but is much better for that. A family gathering for lunch was the occasion on a Bank Holiday weekend. Our reception and service throughout was excellent and the food very good and enjoyed by all. Drinks afterwards in the sunny garden completed a relaxing afternoon.

Fabulous hotel. Fantastic food and wonderful service from the staff - attentive but never intrusive. Rooms look recently updated and are a little utilitarian in style (would just like a picture or two on the walls) but really spacious and comfortable. Loved the double size shower! Not sure about the black flooring on the balcony. There's clearly still some work... More

This family run hotel is staffed by extremely friendly and efficient people. Some decor may appear dated but only because it is original to the building and adds to its enormous charm. We stayed in room 9 and as others have stated the superking size bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was huge. Beautifully finished bathroom with large bath and... More

This family run hotel is being refurbished. We were in rooms 9 and 10 both were outstanding. Individually and tastefully decorated. Larger than any other hotel rooms I can ever remember. Complete with a small fridge, that was silent in the night, The bed was the most comfortable one I have slept in (hotel wise) for many years. The room... More
