King Charles Hotel

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here to break up the journey driving from France to Manchester and chose it largely based on price so I wasn't expecting much and therefore was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean, rooms were a good size, beds really comfy and staff welcoming and professional. Kids loved the fishtanks, a great touch. Breakfast was really busy at 9am but the staff worked hard. Cereal, toast, coffee and a full English were all had. My only criticisms are that the room was a bit dated and the bathroom needs a facelift. The shower was powerful enough but the showerhead was fixed and low (I'm only 6ft) so a bit awkward. The tv is small and far away from the bed but that's just me being picky. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely stay here."

"Lovely stay at The Beaches, hosts were amazing. Great room some some lovely touches, very homely. Parking on street if space available. Approx 1 mile from pier which was a lovely walk along the seashore. Breakfast was fantastic, continental selection, fruit plate and then choice from the menu I selected smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on toast,unlimited tea or coffee. Front & back outdoor sitting area. Would definately recommend. "
