Very nice staff who looked after us. Quiet apart from the seagulls. However the decor could need a revamp and some TLC. It’s an old pub but curtains etc can easily be fixed and it stays light very late and blackouts must be a certainty

One night stay

Stayed one night as a stop over on part of our trip. Good stay. Comfy bed and clean room although a bit dated and tired. A mirror in the bedroom would have been useful but managed to stretch hairdryer into bathroom to use mirror in there. Very nice breakfast and friendly woman on front of house and serving.

Hotel room was very clean, a little outdated but was spotless which was really good. However the rest of the hotel was not to the same standard and spoiled my feeling of being comfortable in the hotel.
