“I found that the building's Victorian bones offer a charm absent in more modern hotels, and the sea views are indeed stunning. Home-cooked meals using local ingredients are a real highlight, and the staff seems genuinely invested in making guests feel welcome. It strikes me as a solid choice for those wanting a bit of seaside character.”
