Great little b and b with very friendly hosts. This is not a five star hotel, but had loads of lovely touches like tea and coffee, water, chocolates etc. Comfy and very clean, and they allowed us to keep our (clean) bikes in the room for the right before our ferry the next day. Breakfast was lovely, and did exactly what it said on the tin. Quiet area, albeit on a slightly less salubrious end of town - but we walked to and from town with two young children along the sea front for dinner and had no issues at all. Highly recommended.

Better than expected

Was definitely nicer than expected. Ive stayed at much worse hotels. Polite staff, clean room and we slept well. Plenty of tea and coffee facilities. Maybe the beds and mattresses could do with an update, but they were fine overall. We had breakfast delivered to our door in the morning as we were leaving early, good little selection and good quality food, we didnt eat the yoghurt tho as they were warm.

Had a lovely stay and would return as very reasonably priced. Beautiful view from our room too. Only down side is walking up the stairs as no lift.

Ok I'll admit I had extremely low expectations for this place, it was literally half the price of the premier inn and holiday Inn express which I tried to book first but they were full. So I booked this place fully expecting some terrible experience. I feel ashamed because not only was the staff member who checked us in, lovely, friendly and accommodating the hotel itself was clean, fresh, had lovely big spacious rooms, lovely sea view, fluffy towels with complimentary toiletries, water bottles and coffee/tea making facilities, and abundance of plug sockets including usb charging near the bed. Shower had good water pressure too, bed was comfy (I would say personally I like a hard mattress) but this was soft. However can't knock them for my personal preference. I had a decent sleep, other guests were generally quiet, sea gulls can get a little noisy early morning but don't book a hotel by the sea of that sort of thing irritates you. There was secure garage parking available for a small fee if you have a motorbike it's ideal. Would definitely stay again.

Little Gem

Lovely place to stay right by the sea. We visited the White cliffs whilst in area and then departed for France via the Euro tunnel. The staff here were helpful and friendly and most welcoming. Would certainly return again in the future.

Not the best.

You get what you pay for I guess! Tip for the owners - contact the window supplier/fitters and get your money back - the drafts coming through the gaps are unbelievable. However on the plus side, the view from our window was fabulous.

Beautiful view

Beautiful sea view, all the way to France. Wonderful. Smashing for a walk along the front. Friendly and helpful staff. Certainly not the Wow factor but nice and comfortable. Had a great night's sleep too with no light creeping in through the blinds. Would definitely stay again.
