Staff extremely helpful, room clean, comfortable and well appointed.
I suspect parking would be an issue in summer as relies on public car park but worked for us in February!

Very nice check in and help with bags. Room was too hot and by an extractor fan so very noisy all night. Shower ran cold for quite a while so 1st person had a cold shower and only warm for 2nd person.

A lovely place to stay with views to die for. The rooms were large and comfy, thought he mattress seemed a bit old. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was good quality for a good price. Walking distance to the train station and a few nice pubs too.

Lovely place to stay staff friendly clean beds comfortable .stairs very steep need to take your time with them people with poor mobility would find them hard to cope .there is room for 2 cars to park opposite hotel or need to park in carpark a 2-5 minute walk away .you can purchase a parking pass for £5 per day to stay there and it also cover other cars named on list in different car parks food served is very good in the restaurant not too pricey .

Booked suite so got parking thank goodness. Room a bit dated. Good to have a fridge. Heating came on at 2.30am very annoying. Room was to hot. Window wouldn’t stay open. Bed very hard. Tv remote did not work. Menu at night awful when asked for advice on special pie just told in was meat. Breakfast was good. Would have liked filter coffee for the price.

We had an amazing view, the tub was great, there service was good and the food was enjoyable.
I appreciate a fan being included, and that the windows opened so you could listen to the ocean.
Stairs are a little steep, but other than that a great stay.

The room was superb - however the stay was let down firstly initial welcome at hotel - asked about parking and member of staff was not helpful at all - must remember most guests will not know the area so by saying park in the car park up the road is not helpful -
Secondly - dinner - not everything available on menu but to make thing worse could hear disgruntlement from the kitchen staff. Positive what we ordered was very nice.
Thirdly breakfast - first experience- omelette undercooked and again could hear staff in kitchen talking with exasperation. Second experience no kitchen staff so unable to provide cooked breakfast

Only stayed one night but would happily stay for a week. The property is old but well maintained, rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff were great, the food delicious and the view lovely.
