A traditional welcoming hotel
We had a really lovely one night stay at the Elstead hotel. It was very convenient to be able to park right outside the hotel and it was walkable into the centre of town for an evening meal. We enjoyed a drink in the hotel bar and the provisions for breakfast were very good. The spa was an added bonus.

The tv screen was really too small-could be bigger; the fridge was a good idea-very small indeed-the location was wonderful-very close to the beach. Overall-a very good place to stay!
