What a great place to stay. Hotel is small and impeccably clean and beautifully decorated with delicious food available if required. The rooms are well appointed and the beds are a dream! Near to the beach and cliffside walks and a short bus ride into town. Make sure you sample the homecooking for your evening meal and the breakfasts are excellent. Loved it all.

Modern, beautifully decorated large bedroom with flat screen tv and fantastic walk in shower, excellent choices for all meals, all freshly prepared and presented. The modern excellent decor was reflected throughout the whole hotel. The owners Paul & Patricia superb hosts who could not do enough for us. I stayed for 4 nights from 25th May with my Mum who is 82 and blind and this has to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. What a find - see you next time!

There's no one single thing about the Avalon Beach which makes it notable, just that almost everything is done well which adds to the feeling that you are being looked after. Whether it's the sumptuous linen, the plasma screen above the bed, the imac in the lounge free for guests to use or the quality of the fittings, there's a pervading air of quality to the hotel and a sign that the owners believe in things of quality.

Avalon Beach is the antithesis of what you normally find in British seaside accommodation.

Rooms are spacious, modern, clean, well appointed. We stayed in the annex which was quiet despite a full house from a hen night1

Paul and Trish are friendly and put you at ease. They also try and source as much of the food locally which makes for variety and the feeling that you are not in another chain.

Location is fabulous with two minutes walk to the beach.

Kids more than well catered for and welcome.

If only all seaside hotels could be like this.

We stayed for 2 night at the Avalon Beach Hotel with our teenage son. The room was beautifully decorated and our son had his own space (and TV!). The owners made us very welcome.
