Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The New England hotel enjoys a brilliant location, conveniently close to the seafront and within easy walking distance of the pier and town centre. Rooms often feature thoughtful touches like complimentary bottled water and luxuriously soft bath towels, and some offer spacious balconies. Breakfast is a highlight for many, featuring a good variety, sometimes including a mixed fruit bowl and served in a room with sea views; however, some guests have noted that the fan above the bed can be quite noisy. The Edwardian house is tastefully decorated, creating a cozy atmosphere.

stale pastries thin walls

The breakfast buffet was quite limited. the pastries seemed stale and the fruit selection lacked variety. furthermore. The lack of soundproofing was noticeable. I could clearly hear conversations from adjacent rooms, which detracted from the overall tranquility. the walls felt thin.

loud fan unacceptable noise

the location was satisfactory, placing me conveniently across from the seafront.

The fan above the bed made considerable noise, proving disruptive. I found the noise level unacceptable for restful sleep. the noise detracted significantly from the otherwise well kept room. addressing this issue will substantially improve future stays.
