The hotel is well situated and the room suited my needs but was very tired and in need of a spruce up. Walls very scuffed, shower curtain had brown stain all along bottom, and door chain didn’t work. Lots of little things which don’t do the hard working and very nice staff justice.

Great place to stay!
The hotel policy is to pay on arrival to save on checkout process which I had not expected but accepted. My room was good but I changed to one that had a bath instead of a shower and a larger tv. The bed was super clean and comfortable with crisp white cotton sheets and duvet. View over the sea was amazing. Fabulous full English breakfast cooked quickly to order. All the staff were very helpful and polite. Overall a very good experience.

comfortable room
A good stay in a very good location. The room was comfortable and clean. Our main complaint would be the lack of proper coffee with breakfast- only instant coffee was available. The second morning I saw someone with a latte but they had to pay extra and it wasn't made clear. At £150 a night I don't think fresh coffee is too much to ask Otherwise an enoyable stay

Great views, ok room and roof.cleaning services
Postitives - Lovely cliff sea view location above a nice pub. Room decor was nice, bed was abit soft personally for me. Shower water temperture and Pressure good. Negatives - Bathroom fan faulty, bathtub drainage blocked, did eventuality drain. Window handle broke off in my hand. Roof guttering cleaning guys using extended poles and noisy suction device around 8am Luckily i wasn't having a lie in. I know these things have to be done but seriously at that time!

The location of this property is outstanding. It is located across the road from the seashore and easy walking distance to shops and local transportation. The staff were friendly and welcoming and provided excellent service to us at meal times. One can get meals/snacks in the pub from 8 am to 9:30 pm. Drinks are served until 11 pm. The room was clean and maid service provided daily. There is an elevator lift to the second and third floor rooms. On the downside, the sink drainage was poor. The hot water boiler broke and had to be replaced resulting in 4 nights with no hot water and no heat from the radiators (November stay so fairly cool weather). Staff arranged for us to have hot showers on day 4 at a sister property just a few blocks away, provided us with a portable heating unit also on day 4. The manager gave us a free steak dinner in the pub on the first night the boiler died and deducted 1/2 off the price of our morning breakfasts (10 days).

Seaside family fun
Nice people - very friendly and warm welcome and super helpful over supper with the kids even though they were obviously busy. We really had a great stay here, it’s a nice spot atop the cliffs over the beach, and the hotel is east going and relaxed and does a great breakfast too.

A lovely sea-side break
A warm welcome (from Ross) when we arrived, and a snuggly, warm & spacious room. (We paid a little extra for a lovely expansive sea view). All staff were very helpful. We had evening meals both of our 2-night stay, and the menu was very good... a great lentil cottage pie the first night - so tasty & substantial that a meat-eater would have been very content, and a goats cheese & butternut squash tart the 2nd night. Again this was substantial & a real voyage of discovery of flavour-mixes, with a tasty salad. We hope to visit again. We understand that new management came in 2021, so ignore any negative reviews from before that time. The Commodore now seems to have a good vibe, motivated staff, and a loyal following. Definitely on the up & up!
