This has to be about the most perfectly placed hotel. In a quiet location yet close to the beach, shops, pier and park. We found Elena and Miles to be friendly and very helpful with suggestions about where to visit and where to have meals etc. On one occasion, Elena walked most of the way to show us a very... More

Avoid like the plague. unless, of course, you fancy experiencing 1970s condemned slum housing conditions. If that's the case, book away and enjoy. We booked two rooms here over the Rugby Seven's weekend. A room for three and a room for 2. The room decors were grim, with furniture that seemed to be recovered and assembled from other people's fly-tipping.... More

I am sorry that you feel this way. We were not informed which room the new guests were arriving into, and nor were fresh towels requested by anyone. There was I must admit no wardrobe in that room at the time, as a "stag" had been placed in it earlier in the week and it had been turned to face... More

I highly recommend this hotel. We could not have asked for more. We had a nice friendly welcome when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The couple that own the hotel were lovely, they really made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were basic but all you could ask for, tea and coffee in the rooms, TV,... More

My daughter stayed here for 3 nights with 2 of her friends and she was really impressed with how welcoming the owners were. The rooms were clean and the location was brilliant for just popping down to the shops and beach. Every morning she was greeted with a smile and a wonderful full english breakfast. She had an amazing break.
