We were sent a message to provide our arrival details by email or phone, but given no email address. The website has neither an email nor a phone number. We couldn't phone, so we sent the info via Expedia, and received no answer. When we arrived at 1:30 pm, the door was locked and no one was in the building. We were told when we phoned (at our expense), that check in starts at 2 - even though the Expedia listing says 1 pm and the sign inside says 1:30 pm, and we provided our arrival details as requested. The building is covered in scaffolding which completely negates the reason we chose this property - the view. We could have chosen one of many other sea view guest houses, and the photos/information provided on Expedia gave no indication that our view would be obstructed. There was also a promise of black-out curtains, but there were only flimsy IKEA style cotton drapes and our room was bathed in light at 4 am. The hot water was almost nonexistent - a trickle. The taps weren't properly secured to the sink. Everything was quite dingy. We saw a young woman in the office one of the three days we stayed, but not another soul the rest of the time. We did hear a dog barking somewhere inside the house, though.

Shower needs sorting out!
The shower was either scalding hot or freezing cold - was told to let it run 10/15 mins and it should be ok but it wasn’t! This really needs to be looked at because if that happens to a child they could a serious burn! However the view was stunning and the room was ok!

Reception closed at 4 ( we checked in around 3:30) - wouldn't have really mattered except bath was missing a plug, so no bath ! When we arrived, hotel surrounded by scaffolding - this situation deteriorated when we awoke to find a scaffolder outside our bedroom window. Bedroom view was great (apart from the scaffolding / scafolder)

Room with a view
It's a cheap and cheerful B&B except no breakfast at the moment (probably because of the season). Lots of cafés nearby though. Don't expect the height of luxury at £65 a night for a double room en suite. The view was to die for!

ok stay
Communication with the hotel, as the check in were friendly and efficient. They sold us the room with breakfast, only to inform us that breakfast wasn't served nor were we given a discount due to the lack of breakfast. According to the sign in the room, breakfast would be GBP 10 per person (x2 for us). The room was basic, and if you're tall, be aware of the beams in the room. The shower was akward as we couldn't get it to a nice temperature - too hot or too cold as it was an electric shower, and not very strong. Also the paint was coming off and really needs some love and attention. On the positive, the views onto the sea were amazing. Location one row from the beach is greatly central. Just a pity about the breakfast and the state of maintenance

Birthday break
Very friendly and helpful front of house staff. Sadly no breakfast, due to chef not being around, but don't be put off as there is an indoor market 2 minutes walk away that do an excellent variety of meals, including a full English breakfast if required at a very reasonable price. The hotel itself is very tired but we got a sea view as requested. Priced a tad high for what it offers.

No elevator/lift. Stairs were steep and narrow. Older and mobility challenged people were put on third floor. Breakfast canceled due to chef being unavailable. Limited restaurants in area.

Not what we were expecting.
Photos on the website are deceptive. For what we paid we were expecting a sea view room but instead we had room 2 with the shower cubicle behind the door in the bedroom. The room was very hot and we were unable to open the windows. One of the window panes was broken. There was no space in the room to move really. The check in process was efficient but we did not try breakfast.

Don't bother
Oh dear. See earlier reviews - this was out experience too. There is nobody in the house overnight. No hot water. Bathroom not properly cleaned. Limited parking. Rude staff. No breakfast. Bad area. You will do far better. Blamed Expedia and the old management for all their current problems...
