Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room felt tired and there were damp issues. The tea and coffee tray was very limited, with only two milk portions provided, meaning you could only have one drink each. Downstairs, there was a strong smell that seemed to be either damp or from the air conditioning. The photos showing a bright conservatory are misleading, as it was in need of a thorough clean both inside and out. On the positive side, the staff gave a warm and friendly welcome, and there was a good selection available at breakfast. The location is excellent, very close to the Cliffs Pavilion, and our room had a lovely sea view.

The property was adequate for our purposes. I think they could have a simpler method for paying for car parking as you had to download an app and several customers had problems with this method and a member of staff had to sort it out on their own account for us. Breakfast was good.

It’s a very traditional hotel in a lovely, scenic landscape. It also provides a lot of entertainment for youths. It is within walking distance to the station, the High Street and it’s by the sea with a wonderful park in front of it.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was a bit tired but clean. Big issue was no hot water and it appears from the number of people complaining at Reception, that this is a hotel wide issue. Reception staff told us that as its an old building the hot water comes on after running all hot taps in the bathroom for 15 mins. We tried this and the 'hot' water was still running freezing cold. This 'advice' was given to every guest we heard asking about the hot water, so the water wastage at this hotel must be an incredibly large amount. We also wondered if the catering staff had access to hot water to wash gheir hands. With this in mind we decided not to eat there and checked out before 8am to get home to eat and have a hot shower. It's a lovely building in a great location, so i really hope they get the water issue sorted.
