Lovely traditional hotel
Traditional hotel with a fabulous seafront location. The room and bathroom were a good size. Very comfortable bed. We opted for an upgraded sea view room which was lovely… but if you’re a light sleeper br prepared for both hovercrafts starting up at 6am!! Good selection for breakfast.

The property is lovely and convenient, and the service is terrific. The staff was simply exemplary. The view from a sea side room was great. However, the peacefulness was disturbed by the continuous sounds from the hover across the street and the nearby construction which continued until midnight every day.

Old but Quaint
This hotel is 190 years old and quaint. If you like history then you'll love staying here. Great English breakfast. Warning for all you I-phone, I-Pad junkies. They only have Wi Fi in the Lobby NOT in the rooms and no Outside telephones. Welcome to the 19th Century. We loved it. The Staff is fantastic as well.

It was a comfortable stay, room was generally clean just some marks around the toilet that looked as though they could have been removed with a better clean. A fridge in the room would be nice to enable storage of cold drinks for overnight. Breakfast wasnt great, the sausages in particular were unpleasant, but the staff service at breakfast was good.

Overpriced for what it is - an old hotel in need of upgrading. Over £100 per night for single, B&B. No Wi-Fi in my room, which was situated directly above the kitchens - so noisy, with the smell of fried food. Very limited parking, which I wasn’t able to use. Breakfast was very average and obviously not freshly cooked, although the ding room itself was pleasant enough. Wouldn’t recommend.
