The overnight stay was a pleasure the staff were welcoming and helpful. The bar is well stocked and the cooked breakfast very tasty. The building looks a bit tired not surprising as it is originally an 18th century coaching inn but that didn’t spoil our stay.

We can do better Britain 🇬🇧

Hard to believe how underdeveloped this area of an English coastline is. People are very hospitable and kind, but the infrastructure is comparable to so called third world countries …

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the hotel’s guest house and was advised it had been repainted which was the reason for the smell. Unfortunately as the weekend progressed I realised that the whole property smells of cigarette smoke and it got worse over the course of the day; the hotel provide a big fan which helped to try and circulate the air in my room but all of my stuff stinks of cigarette smoke and it was worse in my bathroom and cupboard which made me think it’s coming from the room nextdoor. The room itself is nice and clean and the staff are absolutely lovely - they were super helpful and kind it’s just such a shame that the property smells so strong of cigarettes. I would really recommend you don’t stay here it you have a respiratory problem or any sorts as it’s quite unbearable.
