Nice hotel, friendly helpful staff. Some part's of the room could do with an upgrade or a deep clean but other than that was a nice hotel and the room was sufficient for sleeping and taking a shower or bath

Lovely historic hotel
Spacious and very comfortable room with a sea view and all the amenities I required in a room, including the bonus of a coffee machine. The building was very grand and full of character and in a very central and convenient location. Would stay here again.
