We had a lovely Seaview room, clean and comfortable. The only problem we had was with access and parking, apart from that a great place to stay.

Poor, tired hotel needs a refurb. I wouldn’t mind if it was a cheaper price but for this money it’s not acceptable.
Really good staff, not their fault but the chain that owns this lovely old hotel needs a wake up call.

The unique feature was having an aircraft carrier 'parked' outside the hotel (well, as close as it could get without running aground!!)!

All the floorboards were really creaky and doors did not shut quietly. Breakfast was not that great as very greasy. We were really lucky to have a room with a sea view and it was a convenient base as were only there for one night. Comfortable for a short stay.

Pleasant Staff, great location and view .Hotel does need some updating ie new carpets hall ways and reception area and decorating throughout. Room was ok other than cracked sink ,rusty bath ,marks on the wall dated furniture but room was fine for a 3 star .The view was amazing had superior double room with sea view .Breakfast was nice ,coffee was luke warm.Saying all that for the price felt it was value for money for the view .
