Are you in the mood for a depressing seaside hotel with black mold, electrical wires draped over furniture, filthy towels and public hair in the sink? Well then - do I have the place for you! Did I mention the front desk staff is oblivious to your suggestions to clean the room and make it habitable? If all of the above is not what you are looking for then just search for hotels with more than one star.

We found the hotel quite shabby . The hotel has potential, but there is a lack of welcoming hospitality. Room was ok, but needed dusting. Parking on the road extremely hard to find a place close by

Not good

Understanding the hotel is in a 400 year old building and not wanting to sound like an entitled American. The hot water didn’t work none not a drop, that being said the beds sucked felt like I was on a box spring. Now that said the staff was grate and the food was good the location is amazing. We did however have a grate view of the roof top with old broken ironing boards and an old painting that was crumbling in the rain. The place has issues and not at all worth the price we paid

Avoid this hotel!!

Horrible hotel, me and my family felt so disgusted to stay there everything felt so dirty and it was so smelly everywhere we literally left to go back home at like 10pm to drive 4 hours home as we just couldn’t stay there. Absolutely horrible

Disliked: Amenities
We had read that the hotel was being refurbished by new owners, but felt that our room, whilst clean, was unfinished. There was no toilet roll holder; the en-suite door frame had been primed but not painted; areas around the window needed decorating; a strip of new coving was not properly fixed to the ceiling and there was a strange plastic tube with a tissue stuffed in the end running across the top of the window. Personally we also disliked the laminate flooring and the fact that the window (ground floor, street facing) had only vertical blinds and no curtains. All that being said, this room was at least 40% cheaper than anything else in the area for the one night that we wanted and clearly some work had been done as the en-suite looked new with quality tiling, and the ceiling looked new.

Unfortunately we were told the chef was on holiday so we couldn’t eat at the Schooner. It would have been nice to know that information so we could make alternative arrangement and not be disappointed when we got there and be inconvenienced by having to go back out. Also there was no hot water and none of us particularly wanted a cold shower

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE

DO NOT BOOK!!! Half finished, dirty, no hot water (constant theme not one off check other reviews), no one contactable. No one on ‘reception’ and no one ever answers phone. Also offers breakfast - good luck getting that!!! To offer breakfast there has to be someone there to actually provide it, not that I’d want it given no hot water and therefor handwashing or shower facilities in the building.
