“This is a properly historic place-dating back to the 1700s-and it really delivers on charm with an engaging bar atmosphere that draws a local crowd. I especially like that they source seafood from their own trawler and involve guests in the process, plus families can settle into self-contained apartments, making it a practical choice. The hotel really shines with its commitment to events and service.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Many guests appreciate the Seafield Arms' proximity to the beachfront, and the breakfast, particularly the fresh fruit salad, receives high praise. The rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, some even featuring a mini fridge; however, a few guests have noted that the entrance to the room felt a bit tight, especially getting around the bed. Dining at the hotel is a highlight for many, with the Monkfish and fish and chips standing out, plus there's a dog menu so even canine companions can enjoy their dinner.
