Great size room. Old establishment. Comfortable, clean, firm bed. Great location on seafront. Appreciated the biscuits in room with coffee. Tea and hot chocolate. Didnt seem to be much hot water for shower at 9am. Lift entry could be cleaned, ie, door channels. We wish owners luck with costly refurbishment. A grand old hotel. ##### Marion Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MaryAnn 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is a 'Grand Dame' for sure but has seen better days but for the location and value it is a fantistic choice. Our stay included breakfast which was a plus but the coffee was terrible so go with the tea and juices. Car parking was at ≠£6 per day but space is limited, best is to request in advance of arrival. ##### MaryAnn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachael 18 Sept 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is fantastic!! The hotel is old, but needs much refurbishment. The lounge, entry area and all are pretty, but the bed in our room needs replacement. If I had it to do over I would have paid more to stay on the coast in a similar location. ![Great location ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/baee6640-5b9c-4a01-a96f-c00c029fa67f-1758218886737.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom circa 1940](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1b290249-5368-4539-943c-171d207b9c7a-1758218890317.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lounge has a nice view ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3489ded1-d044-4dea-9887-4907b92a729f-1758218890218.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c8668821-d3a2-41a4-b655-859dc107e59a-1758218889995.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachael Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.
