Lovely hotel with lovely staff in a lovely place.

A lovely hotel in a great location, near the beach and seafront, as well as a stone's throw from the railway station. Great service from friendly, attentive and caring staff. Highly recommended, and will look forward to a return visit at some point.

Perfect for the Agatha Christie Festival and so close to the railway station. Bar is excellent and there was a charming pianist playing in the lounge.

Had a weekend break, great service- nice room although slightly dated, very clean. Good breakfast. Bar and snacks good value. Only slight negative ordered a tuna sandwich and the bread was literally cut two inches thick, amazing value but so difficult to eat and wasteful. Our only negative, loved the stay.
