If there was a breakfast , we wasnt told about it?? Room was clean , staff sorted our tv problems out . Shame he couldnt sort the heating out , when we got to our room it was cold , we turned up the radiators , but it did nothing , there was an electric heater in our room , so we plugged that in , it took the chill out of the air.

Temperature outside was 1 degree, yet central heating wasn’t working. My room had a small plug in heater which didn’t create enough warmth. Shower had poor pressure. Not a great experience unfortunately.

Lovely old English hotel with lots of original features. rooms a little dated, but for the price were perfectly fine. good location just at the end of the high street, we walked down the high street and down to the beach past the pier, then back into the town for evening meal.
