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

With regard to the booking you made through lastminute.com, the paperwork you provided at the Hotel was only a request for accommodation to lastminute.com... 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

We just turned up and was welcomed by Bernie & John, who we instantly clicked with. We was given a lovely double double room at an excellent price. The guys found out it was our anniversary and we got an upgrade and was made to feel so welcome by all the staff. The hotel is in need of some TLC... More

The rooms were old and dated and smelt, the plug sockets were loose, the window was way too high to reach so could not close the window, the bed sheets smelt, there was no duvet, just a bed sheet to cover with. The mattress was old and curved in, We were literally sleeping on... More
