Temperature outside was 1 degree, yet central heating wasn’t working. My room had a small plug in heater which didn’t create enough warmth.
Shower had poor pressure.
Not a great experience unfortunately.

Lovely old English hotel with lots of original features. rooms a little dated, but for the price were perfectly fine. good location just at the end of the high street, we walked down the high street and down to the beach past the pier, then back into the town for evening meal.

no heat in room except 2 electric heaters, we couldn’t use main room so we had to sit in bedroom with doors shut and both heaters on to stay warm. Was told at reception but should of been informed at booking

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
clean bathroom with poor bathroom window -not sure if window was lockable or even secure.
The place was lovely and went beyond expectations! The staff were all polite and friendly and went out of their way to bring a room service call(i believe his name was Alfie) nothing was too much for him and he was super polite and efficient for all the time we wrre there.
Hotel in middle of being refurbished. Downstairs area very grand & had a lovely dinner in the dining room. Service very friendly.
But room old shabby & not very clean. Nothing like the fairly modern twin room shown on the website. Bathroom was very shabby & shower head so coated in lime scale could only get a very meagrely amount of water.
Room rate wasn’t much but just didn’t reflect website pictures.
Keep looking for something better.
