    Lovely communal areas good interior design. Nicely decorated for Christmas. Staff friendly and helpful. Clearly had an up grade on my room as it was huge and had a sea view which I didn’t ask for or pay for. Can’t rate this hotel more highly.

    This is not a 5 star hotel so you cannot expect it to be. For the price you pay its more than adequate. Clean and tidy room. Lovely friendly staff and a nice breakfast with everything you would expect. Location is perfect due to being on the seafront and no more than a 5/10 minute walk to the town centre and right opposite the pier. Our room had a lovely sea view although due to the wind and rain made it look slightly bleak. All in all very happy with our stay.
