There's a fine line between "shabby chic" and just plain "shabby" - the Marine has one foot either side of the line. The rooms in the older part of the hotel are fairly well equipped and pretty comfortable (nice beds), but very small. If your plans involve cat-swinging, you'll be very disappointed. Rooms on the front of the hotel have... More

I stayed at the Marine for one night in a twin room - the room was clean and relatively modern, lovely large TV and a sea view- who could ask for more? The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, and the buffet style breakfast was plentiful and tasty- just what I needed after a night out. Considering the price,... More

We stayed at the hotel on the 26th and 27th April for our wedding anniversary. My husband was at the university a lot of years ago and wanted to go back to 'kick the bar' and visit some of his student haunts, most of which were still there. We stayed in room 111 which was lovely with a lovely bay... More

Needs an overhaul. Room was large but very dated and the 'en-suite' was so narrow if you turned round there was a real danger of grazing your elbows as you spun round. The two bedside lamps had no plugs nearby so I had to borrow an extension lead from work to power them up. The kettle didn't work either and... More

I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times and found it to be pretty outdated and poor value for money. The shower is a dribble and cold unless you get up at the crack of dawn and the WiFi is VERY patchy (I think it only works if you happen to have the room above reception). Last time... More

Having read other reviews after booking I wondered what i let myself in for. I don't normally do reviews but feel I have to based on my recent experience to counteract some of the negativity. We went for two nights mid week out of season. When we arrived the member of staff on reception offered to set up a separate... More

Totally surreal hotel. The first night I was here, the hotel was full of very drunk 14 year olds at some kind of local wedding. The second night, it was impossible to get to the lifts or the reception area because there was some sort of Christian revivalist meeting going on, blocking all the entrances. It reminded me of the... More
