Despite having the desciption of Double Room with Sea View, no reasonable person would say that Room 314 has a sea view. A view of the fire escape stairs, yes, a view of the tramway sure….if you stood on a chair from the far wall, cricked your neck at 37.2 degrees and squinted through the trees, you can imagine seeing the sea…through the cracked window.

We had a family room and there was plenty of space in the rooms, with a separate room with a single bed and TV. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean. We only had a short stay and this met our needs. Staff were really friendly and helpful

Our family room was actually two very clean and comfortable rooms, i was initially put off by some bad reviews but i thought it was great. The staircase is amazing! And the corridors might be showing their age but that is what comes of staying in a historic building beds were clean and comfortable what more could you want!
