Unfortunately we only had one night at this hotel. The hotel is not much itself, and the bed it to hard for my liking. The staff was super friendly though. It’s a perfect location, and we had a lovely view from the window

Your average B&B
A standard no-frills B&B. Staff were polite enough. The room was average but the bed was quite comfy. Quite expensive for what it was. Parking is an absolute nightmare anywhere near the hotel.

Great location , great budget hotel
Location is brilliant three minute walk from town centre right up the pier
It’s a family run business and the whole family was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble.
Yes, the rooms are a bit outdated, but the cleanest of the rooms was hundred percent
The bar and lounge area is very comfortable to sit in and have a couple of drinks and the prices of the drinks are very reasonable
100% would stay again
Thank you

Not B&B as requested or what they advertise in the rooms but the very basic requirements for a nights stay. Room was v hot even with window wide open all night. Not somewhere I could stay for more than 1 night.
