Woulld have liked a proper double bed as it was 2 single beds pushed together and the mattreses were very hard, making for an uncomfortabe sleep. We had a beach veiw and the room was large and clean. We had a good apart from the uncomfotable bed. Cose to everything and good value for the money. Would stay again.

This is a lovely hotel full of history, character and charm . It has a good atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to staying here again, The only downside for me was the car parking was a little frustrating and spent a little time driving around to find a space!

Our family room was actually two very clean and comfortable rooms, i was initially put off by some bad reviews but i thought it was great. The staircase is amazing! And the corridors might be showing their age but that is what comes of staying in a historic building beds were clean and comfortable what more could you want!
