    The lift being out of action was a real nuisance as both of us have mobility issues. Staff were very helpful with the luggage but access was difficult. Will not be staying again until the lift is fixed. The long life milk in the rooms made a disgusting cup of tea.

    Ideal location, good food, comfortable.

    Can’t think of anything apart front fixing the lift. After lots of walking it would have been appreciated at the end of the day

    Lovely clean room which contained everything we needed, especially appreciated the water. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location. Could not find any faults.

    Twin beds are very close together and could not be moved further apart due to the design of the headboard with built in side tables.

    Room spacious. Shower hot. Complimentary hot drinks and biscuits in the room. Bed extremely comfortable. Great residents area with selection of newspapers. Full English breakfast with plenty of other options available.

    The haphazard nature of the layout of the bedroom floors, but it is to be expected of an old building I guess.

    It provided just what I needed for the night, a good sleep [apart from the fire alarm late at night], a nice bar for a pleasant night-cap, and a delicious breakfast of kippers et al!

    the chips.

    we had dinner twice at the hotel's restaurant, the quality of the food was excellent and substantially better than other restaurants we had found nearby. The staff who served us were absolutely delightful, helpful, talkative and engaging. They were great ambassadors for their employers, and contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere.

    Lift was currently not working which we had already been made aware prior to the arrival date, my wife struggled up the stairs to the first floor. Room too hot as sash window would not open

    Good location, on arrival, Veronica was extremely helpful including sorting out parking arrangements. Breakfast very nice and the bar had a choice of cask beers.

    A broken lift in a hotel, which due to its age, has several up and down flights of stairs to negotiate on the way to your room. From the notice on the lift, it would appear that the owners have no plans to have this repaired or replaced. This is a 'big negative' for this hotel.

    Location, good. Parking excellent, Staff very friendly

    The room was quite small and became very hot. When we asked to change we were told this was only possible if we paid more. The cleaner turned off the bathroom towel rail which helped a bit. At £177 per night I would have expected a bigger room with a more luxurious feel. It would have been nice to have access to a breakfast buffet as well as the cooked options. It was continental OR cooked.

    The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and very well cooked. The room was clean and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable. The locations is excellent, overlooking the sea.
