Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff on our visit.This hotel is now basic but must have been very splendid and expensive. We had a gorgeous sea view from our room.We were lucky enough to be upgraded as hubby was 70! The room was spotless. It was great to open the curtains and look out.The gardens are... More

Obviously once an opulent hotel, which has now slid gently into a comfortable decline. The basic no-frills, yet spotlessly clean guest rooms are redeemed by an opulent and sensitively decorated bar and restaurant area. The Ocean Hotel earns my five stars through the hard work and faultless, caring customer service of its exemplary staff. As an added bonus the enjoyable... More

Lovely hotel, right on the sea front. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely Restaurant with excellent choice of menus and the food is delicious. The bar area had lovely real fires which were needed as it is very open and can be a bit draughty, though I would imagine it is lovely in the summer - very light and airy. Reasonable... More

Just got back from a weekend at the Ocean Hotel - lovely place and would recommend to all. Tends to attract the older guests but am sure in the summertime would be fab for families or couples looking for a break (we travelled independently as a couple). So clean, welcoming, large yet cosy, with a lovely bar and restaurant, both... More

We stayed here on a coach holiday. This is a wonderful hotel in a great location. I love the duel aspect as the front is on the promenade and the rear opens on to the street. The bedrooms are comfy and spotless and we had a sea view which was great for sunsets and sunrises. We could not fault the... More

A family celebration weekend break at the Ocean Hotel was made extra special by the lovely staff. All so very friendly and welcoming with nothing too much trouble. Amazing value for a weekend break. The hotel is old and in places a little dated but the public areas are beautiful and this must have been a really stunning place in... More
