The grounds were ample and provided great parking. I appreciated that a lot. The hotel embraced its history and Victorian character, it felt quite special. I found the staff cute. The location was central, a short walk to shops and the beach.
My room could have benefited from a bit of updating, it felt slightly dated.

location met expectations

great locationsea viewbasic offeringcheap bread
The location is superb. it is a very short walk to shops, the beach, and the station. I really enjoyed the convenience. i had a room on the second floor, so i got to enjoy the sea views. it was lovely.
the continental breakfast selection was pretty appalling! it was also expensive! i wanted a croissant, but there was only cheap white bread. there were other teas available, but i had to ask for them.
