Central Location and Great Food

The hotel is centrally located near the sea. On-site parking was a great bonus . The Sunday roast was amazing, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The room's carpet had some visible stains, a little off-putting.

Excellent Stay

The hotel provided parking . The room had complimentary beer and crisps. The windows opened. I found a central location, near the sea and local shops. The Adnams Beer tour proved interesting.
I encountered winding, steep staircases. The absence of a lift made it difficult to move around.

the central location proved acceptable for exploring. the parking was also easy.
I found the room decor somewhat outdated. the bathroom extractor fan did not function, a detail easily overlooked during cleaning. the bar area felt small and cramped. A larger space would improve the guest experience considerably.

I stayed in a classic double room. the room was bright and airy. the location was excellent. All amenities were nearby (everything was accessible). breakfast was delicious and served to us.
on arrival, i was shown to my room. i found cobwebs in the bathroom, so i chose not to shower . there was also no window sound insulation, so i was disturbed by reversing delivery vehicles early in the morning.
