The hotel is very old and not wel maintained. The hallway stinks like toilet. Fair enough its an old building so it make sense. I payed around €90 per night for a very small room with a double bed and a shower and toilet in a broom closet. Good things also: they allow dog and the breakfast was nice. Next time however, ill pay a bit more and find an upgrade. The staff was friendly

Beautiful Victorian property, in a lovely area with stunning sea view. There are lots of amenities within walking distance including supermarkets and shops. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, with a reasonable degree of local knowledge. The room we stayed in was basic but comfortable. Wi-fi was reasonably good but the mobile signal on our network was atrocious (not always a bad thing). The bed was lovely and comfortable. The carpet was thick and comfy underfoot, but had definitely seen better days. The only negative thing of note is that we had an en-suite with a toilet and shower (the shower was perfect btw) - but the door was a sliding door which didn't lock, and the toilet was about 4 feet away from the bed! So, if you are going with your partner but you aren't at "that" point in your relationship yet, this may not be for you. Or just bring noise cancelling headphones like we fortunately did.

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station

We arrived late. But staff was accomodating and attended. She guided to free street patking which was not far. As nearby street needed permit and were full. Shower was working , had hot water but pressure was very low . Not sure if it was deliberate or just being at 3rd floor. Breakfast was average. But staff presented servef fresh tea and coffee witj milk which was great.

Excellent service and very friendly hosts both on the phone and in person. Good sized room, but there were areas where it could have been a little cleaner in the bathroom and carpets.

Good position as 2 mins from sea front. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and comfy bed. Also nice and quiet. Windows opened easily to get some fresh sea air. Manager helped sort out payment for parking, as online, only the hotel can do this! I would certainly stay here again. Just didn’t like the free water bottles in the rooms, there’s water available from the bedroom sink, we don’t need more plastic! Also lots of little plastic bottles for shampoo etc. It’s very kind but not sustainable, so not kind to our planet! Don’t be afraid to make a stand as a hotel. Simply put a poster up to explain. A tiny block of soap if needed at all would be better. Most hotels are trying to be more sustainable too.
