Great hosts, great location, great breakfast. They also recommended some fine places to eat in the evenings. Our room did not come with a sea view, but looked over the town to the hills beyond. It was quiet, near all the facilities we needed and we would stay there again. ##### vivian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Anthony 21 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient seafront location In these difficult times with Covid, the Commodore has it sussed with self service check in and owut and measures in place to have a safe break. As a dog owner they allow pets. Free easy car parking in front of the hotel was an added bonus. Only disapointment was breakfast was not avaliable, but its convenient locations offers plenty of alternatives. ##### Stephen Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 29 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Hotel Good comfortable Hotel at a good price would use again.In a great location. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christopher 9 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### christopher Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chaz, Birmingham, West Midlands 18 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great beach front hotel.

Friendly and helpful staff and very quiet in the hotel. Dog friendly (although we didn’t have our dogs stay with us this time) but good to know in future. A bit outdated and mismatched furniture and decor but extremely clean.

We were welcomed with a little hamper of essentials. All rooms were a bit dated but spotlessly clean. The only criticism is that the shower head was fixed too low on the wall which made hair washing a bit of a challenge. ##### Diane Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 1 Sept 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Close to beach and on site parking Disappointed. Guest house decor is tired and dated. Did not deliver as promised on other comments and ratings! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce, the Netherlands 20 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel. Right at the beach The hotel (guesthouse) is right at the beach. Lots to see and do within minutes around the hotel: cinema, pier, minigolf, restaurants etc. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic! Some reviews mention dinner but they don’t offer dinner anymore. We stayed in the family room. It was not big/not too small. In the hallway was a (shared) fridge which was useful. Great stay, would certainly go back. ##### Bruce Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 5 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Can’t go wrong! Great location, on the seafront with a great view across the bay. I parked with ease, reverse in though! Check in was easy and owners really friendly. I was up two flights of quite steep stairs, not a problem for me but be wary if you can’t do stairs very well. Decent sized room with a comfy double bed and spotless bedding. The bathroom was pretty big for a B and B, and it also had a bath which is quite unusual. The towels were great too, bath sheets that were pure white. The decor was dated, but to be fair it was very clean. There were three good sized drawers and a very small hanging space but it was ample for us. Also, two chairs that were comfy enough for a wee seat with a cup of tea instead of having to sit of the bed. Really decent room for the fair price I paid. I didn’t pay extra for breakfast so can’t comment on that. ##### Margaret Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel Run by lovely people..great location and a special mention for the breakfast. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
