Not too bad with excellent location & lovely staff

The hotel is decent. It is a little old looking and a touch run down however the staff are lovely and the location is perfect! So actually for what we needed it was great. We weren't sure about breakfast as nobody mentioned anything so we ended up not going for breakfast at all. The bar serve a good selection of drinks and there is music on at the weekend which is a nice touch.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent position overlooking seafront. Low ceilings and steep stairs to attic room but understandable given age of building. No dedicated parking but can park close by (free) provided not at a busy time with daytrippers. Excellent meals served in bar.

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed with my child in a twin room, a lovely window seat on looking the sea to the side, tea and coffee with complimentary biscuits. Beds very comfy, warm and clean room with a large shower bathroom with complimentary hand soap, shower gel and body wash. Modern and clean areas, the door to our room was abit awkward to lock but after a few attempts we managed. The bar and restaurant area downstairs is inviting, staff friendly and helpful. Car parking is on the street or plenty car parks outside along the harbour and car parks in multiple places by the shore front, all easy access, easy walking distance and free.
