I had a very relaxing holiday. 7 night stay. Hotel is on the sea front, close to the shops and train station for the steam train. I had no issues with parking but you can get blocked in on the back carpark. The hotel and room was clean and comfortable. Slept well. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Good value. I would visit here again.

Lovely place not easy to find. One bed room very good value but shower did not produce hot water. I tried running hot tap in bathroom as advised until got hot water and ran shower for another 10 mins but no hot water produced. When turning on hot water tap in shower no water produced firm tap so I left note for people to repair shower tap or repair hot water pipe into shower……….

Disappointing
Arrived ok , disappointed with the room , it was clean , but room was limited. Most of the time in the day the lounge was locked, no access. The lady of the hotel was helpful, but male propieter, was not helpful at all , we had to ask for water , toiletries , as wasn’t replaced as we used them. We came home a day early , just glad to get home .looked so good on web site , disappointing.
