Very charming Victorian hotel. It was recently renovated and was comfortable although not luxury. The services were adequate but the service was great and the location was excellent. I don't know if the hotel had air conditioning but the windows opened to the sea and we enjoyed the nice sea breeze. more

Stayed for a long weekend having done a bit research on the local hotels (mainly from this site). Really mixed experience; I booked directly with them as it seems booking thorugh Lastminute means you end up in a room with a street view not sea view. Telephone booking was superb - the lady was very friendly. She remembered my call... more

We had a 3 day conference and found the hotel met all of our needs efficeintly and professionaly. I had the benefit of an East facing room so got a view of the pier and beach with a balcony. more

Each morning the breakfast was delicious... more

The hotel was virtually empty between Christmas and New Year's. Instead of giving us a sea view room, however, we were given a dingy... more

I stayed for one night and had a great stay. The hotel public areas are very smart and much better than many 4 star hotels I have stayed in. The receptionist was very friendly and polite and I was checked in within a few minutes. My room was small but spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very smart and modern.... more
