Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Green House offers generously sized rooms, with some even featuring both a separate shower and bath, within a Grade II listed Victorian mansion. Its location is convenient, allowing for an easy walk to the beach and the Pavilion theatre. Guests appreciate the excellent breakfast selection, including cooked-to-order options, cereals, and pastries; however, some have noted that certain rooms could benefit from updating. A highlight for many is the on-site Arbor restaurant, offering a high-quality lunch and evening menu with options like carrot curry soup and lamb wellington.
