This was a lovely hotel with superb professional management. The staff were absolutely brilliant in looking after myself, wife and two children (aged 8 and 10). Nothing was ever too much trouble. All areas of the hotel were clean with a homely feeling. Enjoyed it that much that have booked for two groups for next year. 49 in April and... More

A typical holiday/seaside hotel. Right on the prom - opposite the Wellington Pier. I stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed the stay. Not you 4 star - so don't expect that kind of attention - but good value for money, comfortable, clean and friendly. I would stay again. More

When we arrived we were told that "Late Rooms" had not sent our booking through and that there were NO rooms available. This was horrendous as there were 6 of us and 3 rooms booked! The person on the front desk was quite short with us but then said he had a couple of twin rooms and a single ?... More

We visited the Nelson with a sports tour group and started with low expectations primarily because I've stayed in UK seaside hotels before. They always seem to be timemachines from another era, full of OAP's where getting a late drink means having a Horlicks after 9pm. In many ways the Nelson lives up to this stereotype but the breakfast was... More
